[snip]

To the best of my knowledge, nobody cares about floppy enough to tend to
any of the syzbot reports. I would strongly suggest that any testing of
floppy by syzbot gets disabled until such time that a) the driver is
either re-written to not be a piece of XXX, or b) someone motivated
starts tackling these reports.

As it stands, it's just noise in the block syzbot reports.
