The cover letter is missing a From/Cc to the linux-modules list. So I 
was missing the context here. Looking at lore I found it here:

https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20240924212024.540574-1-mmaurer@google.com/

Can you add linux-modules list in case there's a next revision?

Also, the cover letter is missing a full changelog other than a 
reference to the previous discussions and to the last changes.
