Re: [6.12.y] Please apply one upstream fix

[Artem Dinaburg]

Hi Mani and Greg,

You're right, sorry. We haven't hit this and don't have the hardware.

I was preparing a 6.6.y backport of 934e9d137d93 ("PCI: endpoint:
pci-epf-test: Fix double free that causes kernel to oops").

I had planned to send this commit ahead of it, but upon further inspection
that is unnecessary because 6.12.y already carries the double-free
fix without it.

Please drop this request. I apologize for my mistake.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
