No issues w/ ucode-intel unlocked/updated. I was able to install nvidia[_drm] from the 525.89.02 .run file and it works fine. Also built the 8852au wireless driver from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8852au.git with this kernel w/o issue; not currently using the device, but I like to make sure it [still] builds. Not sure what's up (or missing) from 6.1.12, but it seems like 6.2.0 resolves the problem.
