Sorry, I do mean 6.2.

The merge window for 6.0 was months ago and we have to line 6.1 material
up a week or so before the 6.1 merge window (which probably starts today).
That allows us to get build bots and similar results before the merge window
and with time to fix any issues.

So unfortunately this will only be in a released kernel in about 6 months time:
3 months for the 6.1 cycle that this just missed and then it'll go into Linus'
mainline tree, but the release will still be 3 months after that.

In the meantime it'll be in linux-next from just after 6.1-rc1, and in
Linus' tree for 6.2-rc1.

Kernel cycles are short for a bit project, but they still have about
3 to 6 month delay for new code reaching a release.  This just happened
to hit the maximum.
