Obvious question is: does it work on in v5.4?

Always a good question to ask. The answer is "yes".

I would have noticed had it happened in v5.4 - I am constantly playing
with Thunderbolt and the kernel. But I tried on v5.4 just now, just to
be sure, and it works fine. I probably should have double checked, just
in case, though.

Bisect to come.

Kind regards,
