Following an update to coreboot 8.97and EC 1.19 the laptop has weird power behaviors. Sometimes it would not charge via USB-C, no matter which charger is used (tried with Starlabs charger, Starport hub and Dell WD19) . Unpluging and replugin the USB-C solves the issue until the next time the machine is powered off. The battery charge level sometimes jumps between two levels, e.g. 24% when not charging and suddenly 45% after repluging the USB-C.
Below a testing sequence which shows the issue

Any idea how I can further debug this?
Is the release 8.97and 1.19 stable? It is marked as such on fwupd but it is not in this repo anymore. Would you recommend to downgrade?
