This indeed looks like an upstream regression between 5.10.113 and 5.10.120.

What surprises me are the time gaps between those GPF messages, ~3.5h and 50m, 
but not within the same second/minute. What happens between those time stamps?

If there are more messages around those GPF messages, it would be useful to 
share those as well.

In Stable-Proposed-Updates there is a 5.10.127-1 version and it would be 
useful to test whether the issue happens with that version too.
