That's not telling me what to do...

You say apply the fix. Luca says revert. I say I wish I made this 6.9
material. Which is it?

If the overlay applying depends on out of tree code (likely as there
are limited ways to apply an overlay in mainline), then I don't really
care if there is still a regression.
