A standalone version for the idpf driver fix was posted at [1], and another alternative fix was posted at [2]

Fixes for the ice driver have already merged.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230921125936.1621191-1-aleksander.lobakin@xxxxxxxxx/
[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230925155858.651425-1-arnd@xxxxxxxxxx/

The fix from Arnd got approval from Olek, but it seems like it stalled out after asking about stubs. I'm fine with either approach but would  also like to see a fix merge soon.

Thanks,
Jake
