Subject: Quick extra post-rc7 regression report due to the nearing 6.9 release

Hi Linus, here is a short extra regression report for you mentioning
regressions that you might want to be aware of or could still be fixed,
but afaics are unlikely to get fixed:

* 1cb63d80fff6c4 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Add support Mediatek MT7920") on
some devices leads to firmware loading problems with older firmware
files[1]; the fix is in next for two weeks now[2], but the maintainer
missed that this is regression fix[3]:

[2] 5e970bdf73e619 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix the patch for MT7920 the affected to MT7921")
[3] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CABBYNZK1QWNHpmXUyne1Vmqqvy7csmivL7q7N2Mu=2fmrUV4jg@mail.gmail.com/


* Gaha Bana reported that a AMD Ryzen 7840HS CPU stopped using the boost
frequencies; a fix is ready, but Rafael afaics only queued for 6.10[1]:

* Some change caused boot lockups for Ben Greear[1]; a workaround is now
in next[2], but only queued for the next merge window:

[3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20240508120726.85A10C113CC@smtp.kernel.org/


* Lyude ran into a boot lockup on a AMD machine caused by the topology
changes from Thomas they are still trying to track down[1]; but this is
the only such report I'm aware of, so hopefully something pretty rare:
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/3d77cb89857ee43a9c31249f4eab7196013bc4b4.camel@redhat.com/


* Dan Moulding reported a nouveau regression three days ago, but no
reply from the developers yet:
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20240506182331.8076-1-dan@danm.net/


There are a few more regression, but those IMHO were not worth mentioning.

Ciao, Thorsten
