Just noticed that the above commit is not yet upstream, still only
queued in drm-intel-next. I presumed patches will be cherry-picked from
drm-intel-next to drm-intel-fixes based on the Fixes: tag, so I only
pushed the above patch to drm-intel-next; maybe the cherry picking
doesn't (always) happen automatically.

This patch was cherry-picked this week and sent with the drm-intel-fixes
pull request targeting v6.9-rc3

Since it has the proper 'Fixes:' tag, it will likely get propagated to
the stable branches 'automagically' in some near future.

Later if it doesn't, then we can send the backported patch to the
stable mailing list for inclusion.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
