Wordpress 5.9 and wp_lazy_loading_enabled filter issue on images

Question

since WP 5.5, I had to add this function to my theme to prevent rendering issues in an image slider due to automatic lazy loading in WP:

    add_filter( 'wp_lazy_loading_enabled', '__return_false' );

This was working quite well since it was removing the automatic parameter "loading=lazy" on images elements.

Yesterday, after upgrading to WP 5.9, I'm facing the same issue again with my slider and I see that the "loading=lazy" parameter is back on all images!

How can I fix that? Thanks

You can try one of these two solutions:

$attr['loading'] = false;
return wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size, $icon, $attr );

Or:

add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_image_attributes', function( $attr, $attachment, $size ) {
    if ( $attachment->post_mime_type === 'image/svg+xml' ) {
        unset( $attr['loading'] );
    }
    return $attr;
} );
