hi ard, thanks for the effort!

so, your first recommended patch (the memset thing), applied to current mainline (6.8) DOES NOT resolve the issue.

the second recommendation, a revert patch, applied to the same mainline tree, indeed DOES resolve the problem.

just to be sure, i'm attaching the revert patch.

Thanks.

If the revert works for you, I think we can stop looking.

This points to an issue in the firmware's image loader, which does not clear all the memory it should be clearing.

I will queue up the revert with your tested-by.

Thanks, Ard.
