As you may have noticed since I do not actually see this pushed, this
change requires the '-fms-extensions' change that we are carrying in the
kbuild tree for 6.19.

  https://git.kernel.org/kbuild/c/778740ee2d00e5c04d0c8ffd9c3beea89b1ec554

Would you be okay with us carrying this change there as well with your
Ack? Once '-fms-extensions' makes it into 6.19-rc1, you should be free
to make any other changes like this.

Cheers,
Nathan
