I think I will need this change to apply patch 7 [1] to kbuild-next
without any issues [2]. If there is little risk of conflict, could I
take it with your Ack? Another option would be getting it into 6.17 as a
fix so that I could back merge Linus's tree and apply the series on top.
I am already going to have to do that for the pinctrl change that Linus
W took [3].
