0-day had a rant about a bug with it, it would be wonderful if you can
fix that bug and rebase. Yet again we're now on v6.0-rc7 but it doesn't
mean we can't start testing all this on linux-next. I can just get this
merged to linux-next as soon as this is ready for a new spin, but we
certainly will have to wait until 6.2 as we haven't yet gotten proper
coverage for this on v6.1.

Is there any testing situations you can think of using which can demo
this a bit more separately from existing drivers, perhaps a new
selftests or something?
