Jiapeng Chong has sent a patch to drop the function, and I've reviewed
it. See https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240619075436.86407-1-jiapeng.chong@linux.alibaba.com

I've sent a pull request for v6.12 but it hasn't been processed in time
:-( See https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240822234445.GA23541@pendragon.ideasonboard.com
