Hi Greg,

as mentioned, the original series does not apply on stable-6.11.y and 
securely and correctly back-porting this is out of scope for us, given 
resource and time constraints.

The main intend was to contribute back a patch which is also 
back-portable to older kernels. This seems unfeasible with the huge 
original patch series. The submitted patch has successfully been tested 
on our side and fixes the issue for affected customers which were 
willing to test the patch.

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Christian Ebner
