I have built upstream kernels with Debian's configuration but I disabled
expert options, the certificate, module signing and kernel debugging
and got a working kernel.

Since I don't think that any of these options is responsible, I would guess
it's one of the patches. But I have no idea which one.

The software stack moves too fast these days with hardly any chance to test
stuff which is why breakage happens often.

You're welcome. I wished I had more capacity, but I'm exhausted.
