You're right that it reads like a standalone fix, and that's on me for
the commit message. There's no functional impact on current users: the
reserved GPIO (138) is unused today, so applying this on a released
kernel produces no error and there's nothing to backport to stable.

I'll reword the commit message so it reads as a prerequisite for
enabling Ethernet rather than implying a current break.
