Hi Shuah, Jon et al,

I've been trying to get the same change merged since August 2025:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20250824075007.13901-2-bacs@librecast.net/

resent in January:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20260115172817.7120-1-bacs@librecast.net/

It's great that this trivial fix is finally getting merged, but can someone
explain why this patch was accepted in preference to the one I sent in August?

Brett,

My apologies  for not taking your patch earlier. Considering the effort
you put in with a re-sending the patch and following up here, it is
only fair for me to take yours instead. Hope it will apply cleanly on
top of kselftest-next

Rafael, I am going to take Brett;s patch instead of yours.

Apologies to both of you for the mix up.

thanks,
-- Shuah
