I might have a different opinion on this patch: yes, it actually
belongs to -next material. The process should be like: 1) fix the
issues by v1, 2) refactor it by v2. The reason behind that is the
helper was introduced in 2024 while the home-grown part was in 2023,
which means it doesn't help for stable steam to cherry-pick the patch
in older kernels like 6.6[1].
