Yes, the break was reported on -next and today it appeared in 5.19-rc1.
A proper FW fix is also up for review by Etienne but in the meantime
this tries to limit damages relaxing a bit the checks.

It has not a Fixes tag because the issue was introduced in 5.19-rc1 and the
fix will go in with the next round of v5.19 fixes by Sudeep (AFAIU) so it
will be solved within the v5.19 cycle and I thought the Fixes tag was
not needed in this case (I could be wrong...)
