Hi Maxime,

It may indeed add verification value by ensuring the call actually
generates the expected warning.

The original patch did not include count checks on the version I
inherited it from (i.e.,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250526132755.166150-5-acarmina@redhat.com/),
so I kept the same approach while adapting to the API changes. That
said, the check is simple to add, so I could include it in the next
version.

BR,
Albert
