Meanwhile, I have executed some more experiments.

The bug can be recreated on a next-20240102 kernel by executing either
generic/388 or generic/475 for a maximum of 10 iterations. I tried to do a git
bisect based on this observation i.e. I would mark a commit as 'good' if the
bug does not get recreated within 10 iterations. This led to the following git
bisect log,

Looks like the bug is caused by changes that were made in two separate
branches.

I have also confirmed that the bug was not present in the v6.7-rc4 kernel by
executing generic/388 in a loop for 44 times.

I can also confirm that the issue can be recreated on a next-20240118 kernel.
