Thank you, Marius!  I see that this patch has been included in the
recently released linux-libre-5.8.10.  Assuming that it fixes our
problem (which I suspect it does), we can simply update our kernels and
close this bug.

Leo, would you like to update our kernels?  I won't be able to get to it
today, and I'm looking to offload that job anyway.
