Great. Question is the intention for these to go to Linus
in the 6.12 cycle, or do you just want to let them bake
a bit in linux-next and then plan to send them as a fix
for the 6.11 cycle ?

The reason I'm asking is because the patches these replace
cause a regression on some laptops models starting with 6.9.7
and also all 6.10.y kernels (and if you wait till 6.12,
also all 6.11.y) kernels.

So although this is a somewhat bigger change my personal
preference would be for these to get send out as fixes
and backported to kernels >= 6.9 (1).

Regards,

Hans



1) Just like how the patches they replace end up getting
backported to 6.9.7
