Thx for telling regzbot about this. It seems something went wrong here,
the patch this thread about is f99e6d7c4ed3 (which contains a Fixes: tag
for f6a95a24957a); copy and paste mistake maybe, whatever.

Fixing this and while at it giving this a better title:

#regzbot introduced: f99e6d7c4ed3
#regzbot title: net: bgmac: bootrr.deferred-probe-empty test fails in
KernelCi on sun8i-h3-libretech-all-h3-cc
#regzbot ignore-activity

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
