What?  No, I did not review this, do not add a tag like that for a patch
that I have not explicitly given it for.

And how is the kbuild bot reporting problems that this patch fixes?
Where is that report?

Also, I want this to be dynamic, not static, please do that instead, no
one rebuilds their kernels for something like this.

thanks,
