Re: [PATCH v3 01/13] firmware/sysfb: Fix EFI/VESA format selection

["Linux regression tracking #update (Thorsten Leemhuis)" <regressions@leemhuis.info>]

[TLDR: This mail in primarily relevant for Linux regression tracking. A
change or fix related to the regression discussed in this thread was
posted or applied, but it did not use a Link: tag to point to the
report, as Linus and the documentation call for. Things happen, no
worries -- but now the regression tracking bot needs to be told manually
about the fix. See link in footer if these mails annoy you.]
