FWIW: that in the end is irrelevant when it comes to the Linux kernel's
'no regressions' rule. For details see:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-regressions.rst
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst

That being said: sometimes for the greater good it's better to not
insist on that. And I guess that might be the case here.

In that case I'll drop it from the list of regressions, unless what I
wrote above makes you change your mind.

#regzbot invalid: firmware issue exposed by kernel change, user seems to
be happy with a workaround

Thx everyone who participated in handling this.

Ciao, Thorsten
