Mauro and other maintainers, this is literally the same issue as one reported
last year:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20250407091619.11250-1-superman.xpt@gmail.com/

and I'm honestly a bit surprised that nobody has dealt with this, it's 10 months ago.
And syzbot is still hitting it, literally crashing the box.

Hmm?
