Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker. Top-posting for once,
to make this easily accessible to everyone.

Hey Iwlwifi maintainers, can you tell me why this regression report
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215635 ) and earlier mails
in this thread seem to be ignored? Yes, sadly the issue was not
bisected, but some help to track this down from your side would be
really helpful to get to the root of the regression and fix it, as it'd
expected due to Linus 'no regressions' policy.

And yes, it seems the issue is still present, as Udo recently confirmed
in a update comment to above ticket:

"""
BTW, I can confirm the issue is still present in 5.19.0-rc5 (which is
the latest kernel as of today) and also with the new firmware
(36.f82a4177.0). I've updated the bug title accordingly.
"""

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
