The patch is committed in printk/linux.git, branch
for-5.10-pr_cont-fixup.

I do not have much experience with pushing fixes this late in the
release cycle.

Normally, I would prefer to give it few days in linux-next. But
the fix is quite trivial. And it would be better to have it
in 10-rc6 rather than in rc7 that might be the last rc before
release.

Thanks a lot for report, fix, and testing.

Best Regards,
Petr
