Side note: I wonder if that is causing this problem from Kurt as well:

Greg, I noticed you in the past few days added quite a few patches into
the queue for the next 5.15.y release, but this one was not among them
afaics. So just to be sure: is that still on your todo list or is more
needed to get 6e176d47160c added in time for the next stable -rc?
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
