I'm not sure if the sashiko feedback is worth addressing, or could be a
follow-up. Also Linus is pushing back quite a bit on fixes this late in the
cycle; we are trying to defer things to 'next', where appropriate.

I think patch 1/2 will not pass Linus' filter, and possibly even patch 2/2

WDYT about targeting net-next here?

If sashiko is deferrable, no need to repost.
