Official Display • Permanent 180° screen rotation

HW: RPI4 - Official RPI 7" Touchscreen 1 (800x480)

I want to rotate the display 180°, as it was previously with only lcd_rotate=2.

/boot/firmware/config.txt:
lcd_rotate=2

After booting, I run:
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate normal

This works, but at some point during the boot process, the screen is still inverted.

Alternatively, using this in
/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt:
video=DSI-1:800x480@60,rotate=180

The screen orientation is correct throughout the boot process, but video=DSI-1:800x480@60,rotate=180 is a low-level setting and does not rotate the GUI overlays.

Any ideas?
