Thanks Miguel.

I'll wait for the MSRV bump and send the V2 then.

I would also like to note that a similar patch was submitted by Joy G
Majumdar on 2026-01-05 but received no replies and was not merged:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/CABJmqzutbhyc5yiE_+=M=+gPCo=rYWZ2Tc2FhjMvC9QzZPuEag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I'll Cc Joy and all relevant maintainers on v2, and credit him.

Thanks,
Albab
