Andy, thank you for answer! I will write second version of my patch soon.
Also, please look at another my report: https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/9eac81e6-b4ee-4210-84ac-cbf7bf811130@kernel.org/ .
Mario Limonciello said that we need you specially to proceed.

Introduced in C23. https://www.c-language.org/ .

Side note: I bought this laptop, because it seems to be the only laptop in the world,
which has ECC memory and in the same time doesn't have nvidia.
