For Linus tree I am planning a new DT property to explicitly
enable the inband status. I don't see any quick fix suitable for
-stable, and new DT property will likely not be quickly accepted.
If you don't want a revert, then the stable will likely have that
regression for quite long, that's the warning.
OTOH, the revert will remove the support for my board, so I
won't be able to even test it, which is also not perfect.
