Boris:
	I agreed to follow your guidance. I did have some nitpicks in the email that
	you linked to and the discussion that followed created the impression with
	me that	you were considering other options. Specifically

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260805002138.GHanKCEmyMcvK8Xg4w@fat_crate.local/

	is what I misunderstood as this topic still being open. My apologies.

Babu:
	To answer your question on how to move forward I thus think what is needed
	is a minimized patch for easier backporting that is marked for stable. Also
	consider 

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/d476ea5e-340b-4d65-8207-cc1a0055b4aa@xxxxxxxxx/

	when writing the changelog. For me to sign off on this change the changelog has
	to be accurate and complete. 

	Please also follow up with pqos team on the issue you created there to motivate 
	this patch.
