I've dropped that material from my linux-next branch and Daniel,
please also remove it from your branch that is pulled by linux-next so
that it doesn't show up in there until 6.2-rc1 is out.

It clearly is not ready for merging in its current form.

It is still present in my bleeding-edge branch, though, so please
apply the patches from Johan on top of it and send a new PR to me, so
I can add it back to my linux-next branch once 6.2-rc1 appears.

It would be good to check the code again too for any more similar fallout.

Thanks!
