Hi Satish,

There is are AI-generated reviews of this patch available at both
https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/ and https://sashiko.dev/
And it seems to me that some of the issues raised there do warrant
investigation. I'd appreciate it if you could do so with
a view to addressing any issues that are not pre-existing in v7.
