mouse tilt wheel between 12.1 and 12.2

[Stefan Blachmann]

Just curious, does your xorg use evdev or libinput?

On Linux, such issues happen, too, as a consequence of switching to
from traditional evdev to wayland-compatible libinput.
If you do not care about Wayland, just avoid libinput (blacklist if
possible) and all is fine.
