RPi4 was released in 2019, while v4.19 got released in October 2018. Hence the upstream v4.19 kernel never had support for the RPi4 as far I can tell. > And this one has also lost the bcm2711 support. > Please advise. It sounds very likely that you are running a downstream kernel for which RPi4 support was retrofitted. Nothing lost in upstream stable or stable-rt kernels. If you want to run upstream kernels, I suggest you pick a newer kernel which supports RPi4.
