I guess part of the problem is that Bastien got reassigned and might not
care about the kernel anymore.

Another part of it is that Jiri was CCed, but Benjamin was not.

Ideally of course Mavroudis Chatzilazaridis, the culprit's author would
look into this, but from a quick search on lore it looks like Mavroudis
is not a regular kernel contributor and thus might not even know how we
expect situations like this to be handled.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218094#c33 it sounds like
this can be fixed by resolving another regression as discussed earlier
today here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87edgjo2kr.wl-tiwai@xxxxxxx/

I think that might be the better solution, but Takashi, Hans, or the
input people will know best.

Not sure, that might be a different problem, guess Hans is the best to
judge.

Linus can speak for himself, but I guess he gets enough mail already.
I'd say in a situation like this it thus might best to not CC him;
instead poke me when things apparently are not handled well, then we
together can decide if it's worth bringing Linus in.
