Thanks for addressing it. Two things you might want to consider:
1) There are some warnings related to this patch.
a) Not CCed maintainers
b) WARNING: line length of 95 exceeds 80 columns
You can see them here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20240912173608.1821083-2-max@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
Also, this might conflict with the refactor I did a while ago, so, you
might need to rebase:

Other than that, I am happy with it.
Thanks for doing it
