Thanks a lot for this patch! This was previously reported and should
be fixed in this patch series (I added you as a reporter in v2):

    https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20230616001631.463536-1-ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx/

If you could please test the series, to make sure it solves your
issue, it would be great!

Cheers,
Miguel
