There isn't a last known good version. As I said, the issue appeared 
after an OS upgrade, not after a kernel one.
4.20.17 on Stretch was [1] working. After upgrade to Buster, kernel 
panic came out and I decided to try with other kernel versions.

I know, it's the reason why I downloaded and tried 4.19.273 and 5.10.169 
before opening the bug report. I wanted to report on a supported version.
Yesterday I tried also 6.2, with the same result.

[1] And *is* working in the original place. I always test OS upgrades on 
a cloned drive. I can restore from image the screwed copy, retry upgrade 
etc. Also dangerous things.
