I wasn't going to pick them up with the incorrect authorship, but it's
worth noting that Bradley's patch _does_ fix one of the hibernation
problems and has been tested by Vladimir:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260809213615.11646-1-include@grrlz.net/
I would prefer to take your complete set of patches, but if you don't
want that then should I just take the above for now? Prior to this
series, there has been no activity for nearly two years on your branch,
so I'd prefer to get _something_ in, even if it only fixes some of the
problems.
