Well, I wasn't going to pull that based on the description, but it
turns out it's not a panic at all, it's just a "stop decoding".

Because panicking on broken firmware would be horrible.

This is a list of bugs being fixed. The bug was a panic, the fix is
stop decoding.

Likewise, the other fix is not adding a KCFI violation.

Thanks for making my day :-D

Joke apart, I thought it was clear enough, but I take note to word
things differently next time.
