Hi Greg,

as mentioned, the original series does not apply on stable-6.11.y and securely and correctly back-porting this is out of scope for us, given resource and time constraints.

The main intend was to contribute back a patch which is also back-portable to older kernels. This seems unfeasible with the huge original patch series. The submitted patch has successfully been tested on our side and fixes the issue for affected customers which were willing to test the patch.

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Christian Ebner
