Any chance you could upgrade to either the Debian kernel or one based
on the Debian kernel or on 4.19 mainline and see if any of them fix it?

Also, I suggest you try to get those quirks fixed in Linux mainline,
so that you don't have to keep building Linux yourself :)

Do you have any details about which patch this is?

Also, it would be great if you could try to get the patch into the
Linux kernel's mainline stable releases.
