As you are splitting fixes from non-fixes in this series, please resend
this as 2 different series, one that I can apply now to my tty-linus
branch to get merged for 6.7-final, and one that can go into tty-next
for 6.8-rc1.  Mixing them up here just ensures that they all would get
applied to tty-next.
