Cheers, I picked these up, but you might need to shepherd them
through -stable, so please keep an eye out for any "failed to apply"
mails.

Talking of which, the original workaround didn't make it to any kernels
before 6.1:

[5.15] https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023100743-evasion-figment-fbcc@gregkh
[5.10] https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023100745-statute-component-dd0f@gregkh

Please can you or Rob have a crack at that?
