The most time-consuming task is on determining the culprit and you're in
the best position to debug that.

There are many kernel packages available at
https://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/, can you do a package
bisection and pinpoint the oldest kernel that has this issue? (That is,
pick a kernel somewhat in the middle between 6.1 (from bookworm, good)
and 6.12 (from trixie, bad), say 6.7-1 and test that. Depending on
the result, continue to search between 6.1 and 6.7-1 (if 6.7-1 is
bad) or 6.7-1 and 6.12 (if 6.7-1 still works). Tell us if you need more
guidance here.

Make sure to uninstall the old kernels at the end to not be exposed to
security issues that are already fixed in later kernels.

Best regards
Uwe
