Technically 3282... exposed the issue by making it more likely to happen
so 4.19 might just have a really low probability of seeing the issue (I
think I did try reproducing it on kernels of that vintage). Personally
I'm not too fussed the kernel versions I care about have the fix. Maybe
someone from NXP cares enough to pursue it.
