This cannot be backported to 6.1 unless we upgrade the compiler, since the feature is not available in old versions.

For future reference, this patch got picked for 6.1 a couple more times:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CANiq72ndLzts-KzUv_22vHF0tYkPvROv=oG+KP2KhbCvHkn60g@mail.gmail.com/

If I had known it would cause your scripts to pick it up repeatedly, then I would have probably avoided `Fixes`/`Cc` -- it is a very minor issue.

Now dropped, sorry for the problems.
