Thanks for the quick fix!

I'll add this right after the Fixes tag:

Reported-by: yshuiv7@xxxxxxxxx
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207587

Ok?

yshuiv, can I have your name to add to that Reported-by tag? And if you
test it, please, I can add a Tested-by: tag as well, credits where
credits are due!

Thanks!
