Thanks Marc!

Arnd,

I don't see much discussions on 20250407094116.1339199-1-arnd at kernel.org
to conclude if you plan to get this for v6.16

We probably can wait to push this $subject after your changes land. But
it would be good to know your opinion here especially if you are not
pushing your patches for v6.16
