It's probably not worth reporting -next issues to the -next maintainer
unless they're specifically in the -next merge - I'd not read this
report since it was part of a small batch of reports you'd sent at the
same time which appeared to be being sent to me because I was running
-next rather than them being directed at me.  It can result in things
that need attention getting missed.

That seems sensible to me, especially given the small number of files
affected.  The other thing would be to decide that all assembly files
should have the header included by default but that seems like it's
invasive and probably disproportionate.
