Out of curiosity, does the fact that it'll be in coresight-next mean
that this will target v5.15 or v5.16? I usually think of "-next"
branches as targeting one major version later, so I'd assume v5.16?
...but it would be nice if this warning could get fixed somewhere in
v5.15.

Thanks and sorry if this was obvious and I just didn't know.
