Not sure I buy that that is an actual problem. However, not worth
arguing over. I only really care because if there's a Fixes, then this
really should go to Linus for 6.12 rather than eventually get
auto-selected from 6.13 to go to stable. So I moved it to send to Linus,
but I found that CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY is still selected with this patch.
That's because the clock kunit tests also select CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY.
That's fixed in next, but it's not queued up for 6.12.
