Yes, that would be ok. As a sidenote, when I first got this bug I conducted an
internet search and found this vaguely similar report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/8/28/1558
The report says its from 6.10.0, that would be not related, but at least from
the date it's possible that it could have tested the v7 patchset.
