Regarding the original report:

If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new 
version of
the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags
| Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@...el.com>
| Closes: 
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202401112259.b23a1567-oliver.sang@intel.com


Could you please add the tag? Thanks.
