"Make" as it "that other issue was present before the culprit was
applied"? Then that other issue does not matter due to the "no
regression" rule and how Linus afaics wants to see it applied in
practice. For details on the latter, see the quotes from him here:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/handling-regressions.html
 Hence please submit a revert (or tell me if I misunderstood something)
-- or of course a workaround for the other issue that does not cause the
regression people reported.
