Hi Luka,

Thanks for taking a look. This was intentional: it is a backport of
your reviewed fix f9654207e922 for the 5.10.y stable tree (hence the
[PATCH 5.10] prefix). The upstream commit is tagged Cc: stable and is
already in 5.15.y and newer, but 5.10.y is still missing it
(CVE-2026-64444). 

As far as I understand, the removal in 7.4 affects mainline only; the
driver is still part of 5.10.y, so the fix is still relevant there.

Best regards,
Mikhail
