AFAIK, that's only true for a configuration that enables both CONFIG_Q40 
and CONFIG_ATARI. In my tests with stock v5.12, such a configuration 
presently doesn't work correctly on Atari.

This patch series doesn't make this issue any worse.

Besides, I think it is a non-issue because the problem is so rare that 
no-one noticed it before I did, and the workaround for CONFIG_Q40 users is 
trivial anyway (disable CONFIG_ATARI).

Is there really some benefit in holding up this patch series?
