Hi Petr Mladek,

This is gentle remind.

I did upload the patch containing the above contents.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250305044046.1249972-1-d7271.choe@samsung.com/

Even if it's not necessarily this patch, I hope the content will be applied.
When can the 'printk_debug_non_panic_cpus' function be reflected
in mainline source code?


Thanks.
