I agree that the fix gets the priority. But some maintainers perfer to merge fix
patches _only_ if they are fixing the issue introduced in the ongoing release.
But if Bjorn has no issues in merging these for 6.8, then it is fine.

I got it, but we cannot just merge the patches without finding the rootcause. I
heard from Qcom that this AER error could also be due to PHY init sequence as
spotted on some other platforms, so if that is the case then the DT property is
not correct.

Since this is not the hot target now (for Qcom), it takes time to check things.
