I'm not familiar with the hardware of this particular device, but I suspect that some necessary driver was (likely inadvertently) excluded from the configuration of the 5.10 kernel, but included in 4.19. Looking at the output from the boot of both kernels should give you an idea of what module/device is broken, and providing that to this bug will give one of the maintainers of the arm64 kernel a chance of helping fix the issue. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that, too. -- W.
