it seems to be rate-limited to 10 per boot, so it should never appear
more than those 10ish times:
static bool report_idle_softirq(void)
{
...
if (ratelimit >= 10)
return false;
...
ratelimit++;
...
}
(it's all non-atomic/lockfree, so ofc it could just happen to get
emitted 11 or 12 times if the stars align just right...)

FWIW, we're also seeing exactly that "NOHZ tick-stop error" message on
6.4.6-rt8 running on a couple of different imx8mp based boards.
