Hi Sasha,

Thanks for picking this patch.

Do you plan to pick the 2 others patches of this series in the older
kernels, as you did for 5.18 and 5.19 ?

The 2 other patches in this series are:
118b1366930c ("powerpc/pseries/mobility: set NMI watchdog factor during an
LPM")
f5e74e836097 ("powerpc/watchdog: introduce a NMI watchdog's factor")

I'm not sure how well they apply to these older kernels.

Thanks,
Laurent.
