For clarity, I also found and reported the issue independently to
security@kernel.org on the same day, with my own reproducer and
root-cause analysis. At that time I was not aware of your report or
patch; otherwise I would have referenced it earlier.

I am still not fully familiar with the exact kernel trailer convention
here, so I added both Reported-by tags because the reports were
independent.

Steffen, either trailer form is fine with me. If you decide to drop my
Reported-by because the patch already has my Signed-off-by, I have no
objection.

Thanks,
Kuan-Ting
