No. Please see below.

This is incorrect: data is the combination of level AND hints, so that value can
be larger than or equal to 8 with the level still being valid. Hard NACK on this.

The issue with LTP test case has been fixed in LTP and by changing the ioprio.h
header file. See commit 01584c1e2337 ("scsi: block: Improve ioprio value
validity checks") which introduces IOPRIO_BAD_VALUE() macro for that.

And for ltp, the commits are:
6b7f448fe392 ("ioprio: Use IOPRIO_PRIO_NUM to check prio range")
7c84fa710f75 ("ioprio: use ioprio.h kernel header if it exists")

So please update your setup, including your install of kernel user API header files.
