I have Amit's report on the list of tracked regressions. I also noticed
the proposed change "arm64: dts: qcom: sc8280xp: fix PCIe DMA coherency":
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221124142501.29314-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org/

I have no expertise in this area, but it looked somewhat related to my
eyes, so please allow me to quickly ask: is that related or even
supposed to fix Amit's regression?

Ciao, Thorsten
