Clément Léger and Claudiu Beznea: what's up here? Is there a particular
reason why this patch did get any feedback from you by now? It's ten
days old and Peter already sent a kind of reminder a few days ago.

Reminder, ideally this regression should be fixed by now. For details
see the section "Prioritize work on fixing regressions"  in
Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst (
https://docs.kernel.org/process/handling-regressions.html )

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
