The V6 patchset was posted at 2024-07-18, and Krzysztof raised that
R-b tag comment at 2024-7-21, so just after I posted the reply and
started doing the new version, since it is a simple update, it takes
short time to do v7. Since 6.11-rc1 merge window is closed, I think
a clean patchset would be good for maintainers to apply.

As I replied in the v6, I not intend to bring trouble for your
reviewing. I will wait more time before doing a new version.

Sorry, again!

Thanks,
Peng.
