QSV not working any more

[Islam]

Hello and thanks for your help.

The Kernel is Linux 6.12.22+bpo-amd64 which I understand is sufficient.

However, sudo dmesg | grep -E "i915|xe" does show a number of ERROR and fails:

I also see it says 'Found METEORLAKE' though I thought 15th gen should say ARROWLAKE.
And should it be 'failed to load i915/mtl...' when the ARC iGPU uses the xe kernel driver instead of the i915 driver (as per the Note is Step 2 from the above link)
And also that it 'Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged!'

Does all this help identify what I can do to resolve the issue?

Thanks.
