You are right, and the consequence is larger than the wording. I built
two kernels from the same base with the same config, the only difference
being a revert of 36f35b8df697, with none of this series applied:

  base:                  /sys/class/rpmb empty, one "cannot add device"
  36f35b8df697 reverted: rpmb0..rpmb3, four regions registered

After unbinding the host, the reverted kernel still has all four devices
in /sys/class/rpmb while /sys/class/scsi_device is empty.

So the leak that patch 2 fixes is real on v6.19 through v7.1, and this
patch re-enables what v7.2-rc1 disabled.

v5 restores Cc: stable on both UFS patches. The cover letter cites
36f35b8df697 with the measurement above, and notes that a backport
needs all three patches in order.
