FYI Mainline isn't officially supported.

... because you're booted to that kernel.

I find it highly unlikely that 5.11.1 will show up in the repositories, 
if you want a fix "now" you should use a mainline kernel but that is NOT 
guaranteed to be supported and doesn't get security updates, etc.  So we 
suggest sticking with the Hirsute kernel version.

Because you *boot* into a kernel.  You're booted into 5.11.0.13. You 
need to reboot your system to boot into a different kernel.
