Thanks!

That said, if you are only discovering and fixing these bugs by telling
an LLM "please find and fix a bug for me", please use some judgement on
whether the problem is more of a theoretical one versus something that a
developer would run into the real world. Our time as Kbuild maintainers
is rather valuable, so having to look at a bunch of LLM generated
patches that fix bugs that nobody is likely to hit is not a good use of
it. A lot of these scripts are infrequently used or written for fairly
narrow use cases, so they might have problems against certain input that
is just not expected in practice.

Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up
comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or
reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending
wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally
be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.

Best regards,
