Sorry, that was my mistake. The sentence came from v1. I first hit the
oops on the 6.12.86 kernel I use every day on the tablet. When I
repeated the tests on media next, I updated the cover letter but not
the commit message, and the sentence went unchanged into v2 and v3. I
did not catch it when I reread the patch.

The GC5035 and GC8034 drivers I sent today were developed and tested
only on media next (8e26d4c20), on the tablet.

English is not my first language: I write in Italian and translate
with the help of an LLM.
