Damn it! I completely forgot to birng that back. Yet another remenant of
the NO_BBML2_NOABORT version we had discussed in v6, because a
description field would have been confusing due to the double negation:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/83d1f7af-3dc7-45f9-94f3-8a0917c051d2@arm.com/

Thank you very much for spotting this Ryan! Ill return the description,
and respin on Monday (unless it is possible to do this as a RESEND or
similar, but I doubt it since this is technically a functional change) :/
