Hi Andy,
I see this landed in linux-next, but is not currently in Linus' tree for 6.11.
Will you be able to have this pulled during the merge window?
I'm trying to eradicate all of these warnings before 6.11 rc-final.

Thanks

Thanks for reminding us!  I have just sent an auxdisplay PR to Linus,
including your changes, so I hope they end up in his tree soon.
