I was expecting 5.17.11-1, but that version does have the SATA fix from the
other bug report too. And there's another thing to focus on ...

Ok, that is fine.

The exact implications of this is 'above my pay grade', but hopefully one of
the kernel maintainers (who should understand this) chimes in.

Via
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/linux-config-5.10 I retrieved the
Debian kernel config for 5.10.106-1 (which is likely close enough) and compared
it with the config you attached.
The diff was *huge*, but the fact that you were able to boot your self-built
5.10 kernel while the Debian 5.10 kernel failed, points (strongly) towards a
Debian kernel configuration difference which is the cause of this bug.
I have no idea how to make any intelligent recommendations wrt kernel config
changes, so I have to defer to people 'smarter' then me (wrt this).

Building 5.10.113 with your custom config sounds like a good test case.
Debian's 5.10.113 didn't boot (with Debian's config), but if the (exact) same
version with a different config does work, then it seems almost certain to me
that the bug is in the Debian kernel configuration.
