I found the following failure in G/RISC-V, cycle sru-20210510 :

Hereby attached is the full test output.

Notice this is not a regression, it was observed in previous cycles (kernels 5.8.0-23.25 and 5.8.0-21.23). Also, the following LP seems related:

Also found on F/riscv-5.8 5.8.0-26.28

Kernel EOL and we don't have this issue recorded in our hint database. Closing this bug.
