I think this should be tagged for stable kernels too. Rafael, can you
pick this up as a fix for v6.1rc[n]?

Well, I think it's better if we replace [1] with a patch that only
disables the cluster idle state. In that case, it would be sufficient
with $subject patch. In that case, we can just manage [2] separately.

Amit, can you submit a new version and test it together with $subject patch?

Kind regards
Uffe
