All,

I'm sorry that if in the end it turns out I'm wrong here, but given all
of the public evidence:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/c67720e2-bb73-43ab-9d75-851ef1f4afaf@kernel.org/
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/ahXPidpyl-qRMOkH@google.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/64b5a656-d73d-4c72-95b1-3c843b18c2f1@digi.com/

I do not believe Josh Law is a human but rather some LLM agent. Please
disregard their feedback.
