We just learned that this patch introduces a new problem. I have just
posted a patch to fix the new problem:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210124202728.4718-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de

You may want to hold off on applying the first fix until the second fix
has been accepted. Then you can apply both.

Thanks, now queued up.  Can you let stable@vger.kernel.org know when
this one has been merged by Linus so we know to take both?
