Thanks for letting me know, I really should have caught this
while sending the pull request. I was fairly sure that I had
not introduced any backmerges or octopus merges myself, so
I didn't pay enough attention when preparing the pull requests.

What what I can tell, the thing that tripped me up was commit
980a8bfe7bae ("Merge branches 'for-next/scmi/fixes' and
'for-next/ffa/fixes'"), which I pulled in as part of a normal
downstream branch.
