FWIW, that is obvious and not needed here; but having it in the subject
would be good. The subject also does not really match the expected
style. But let's ignore that for now due the aspect mentioned below.

Sadly a slightly tricky situation developed coincidentally: Nícolas not
even 24 hours later send a patch that fixes this as well, but does so in
a related document as well, which is wise:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240308-regzbot-fixes-v1-1-577a4fe16e12@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Which leads to the question: how much do you care that you patch makes
it in? If you would like to have a fresh commit in the kernel (which is
totally valid thing to want!) we definitely could improve your
submission and then adjust Nícolas changes on top of it -- but if you
don't care at all we could just directly take Nícolas patch.

Ciao, Thorsten
