First, many thx for the reply.

Not sure who you mean with "they" here.

Isn't the main question if André used a vanilla kernel beforehand on
those Android devices and now is unable to do so? André, is that the
case? Or did you only encounter this regression when switching from a
patched kernel to a vanilla kernel?

Also: André, do you see this in some test env, or in some real use case
where others might also run into the problem?

Yeah, some clarification from André really would be helpful.

Thx again for the answer.
