Hi Paul!

Can you share which tree and branch (commit) this is running ?

Does it include my fix from this series ? That would be patch 1 of:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260927155134.4740-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com/

Does it run the additional series from Kunwu Chan found at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20261002170847.3653663-1-kunwu.chan@gmail.com/ ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
