Didn't my revert of e7223f1860 fix this?

Well, the original 0day kernel test robot report was from the
linux-next days, back in February. I reverted the commit that the
kernel test robot indicated was the point where the actual trouble
started two weeks ago (commit 1701f680407c).

I was hoping that would be it. Have there been reports since that I
haven't seen?
