Dear Maintainers,

I noticed that the following patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/20261010124830.116750-1-chitranshmandhaniya@xxxxxxxxx/
was recently accepted. I actually submitted the identical fix a few
months ago here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/CABD5TJy-sp0knXTpaBhJ4+zvc42jaDFggX7jKpqUvz6tTVhoTA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I just wanted to point this out so that we can ensure the history
reflects the original implementation, or perhaps I could be added as a
co-developer or 'reported by contributor'.

Thanks,
Anup
