Now that v6.16 has been tagged, I was wondering why this patch didn’t make
it into this release. From the timeline, it seemed like there was
enough time for it
to be included, so I’m just trying to understand if it was overlooked
or deferred
for a reason.

I also haven’t seen any recent activity at
https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/lst/linux/, which
made me unsure about the current status of patch queue handling.
