Looks like you only took patch 1?

I can't take patch 2 on its own, that would break the build.

Do you want to take both patches? There's currently no conflicts against
my tree. It's possible one could appear before the v5.13 merge window,
though it would probably just be something minor.

Or I could apply both patches to my tree, which means patch 1 would
appear as two commits in the git history, but that's not a big deal.

cheers
