It is not helpful to describe the addition of one pr_info statement in terms of "Remove all diffs you have ontop of your 5.12 kernel".

A full power-off reboot is needed to get past the early screen initialization. As with Markus, I've also noticed that a "warm" reboot can result in a frozen system immediately after the boot loader has run.

The system did not react to any inputs (Alt+SysRq) or to a short press of the PC's power button, and thus a hard shutdown was necessary. > However, there are six commits between those, that did not boot and left me stuck with a black screen right after the bootloader (so no systemd startup message or similar). > f007a3d66c5480c8dae3fa20a89a06861ef1f5db worked flawlessly, without any hiccups doing random internet browsing while I was compiling the next bisect step.
