This has been discussed here
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230523105935.GN83892@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/T/#m0881c3e17954dc6e23f81216873e721f8395e554

and here
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230617081926.2035113-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com/

and the right solution would be to remove the while loop but  for
whatever the reason, this has never been resend with an updated commit
message
