Linux Release Delayed by Lenovo

I don't understand your "some days".  The original report was two+
weeks ago, and the link you point to does not seem to have a suggested
patch for the problem either.

So where does the "some days" come from?
The WHOLE POINT of the "no regressions" rule - and the reason it came to be in the first place - was that we used to have these endless "one step forward, two steps back" things with suspend/resume in particular, where people fixed one device, but then broke a random number of other devices, and kept saying " but I fixed something".
No. If you broke something else, YOU DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING AT ALL.
This is literally why we have that "no regressions" rule. No amount of "but it's a fix" is valid at all if something else breaks. And no amount of "I will fix the thing I broke in the future" is valid either.
If you don't have a fix for it, it's broken. And I don't even see a *suggested* fix for people to try out.

At least the email from Evan Preston seems to imply it's a blank screen that doesn't go away.
"Upgrading from Linux 6.4.12 to 6.5 and later results in only a blank screen after boot and a rapidly flashing device-access-status indicator"
And no, "most people using GUI" doesn't matter. You are supposed to be able to upgrade your working kernel, and it's supposed to keep working. That's *important*, because it's really really important that people *trust* that they can upgrade the kernel and not end up with something non-working, because that's how people then dare do kernel updates and dare test new kernels.
If people then stop testing new kernels because they think new kernels might break their setup, we have lost something truly important.
And yes, there are always exceptions. At some point, devices are just too old legacy and there is no way of testing. Or we've had some interface that was *so* mis-designed that it was a fundamental security issue or something like that.
But no, this does not seem to be one of those issues.
Now, I'm not going to revert it just before releasing v6.6 (which I have locally tagged, but not pushed out yet). And I'll have the merge window for 6.7 opening tomorrow. But if this is not fixed by -rc1, we'll just revert it.
