@sgn or @Johnnynator 

I got a great deal of spam following my first open source contributions years ago and ended up abandoning the email address I used then. (Also, contributors could use a temporary or disposable email address to circumvent this check.)

If you won't accept my pull request, do you think you could make that one-line fix yourself, please? I've built the kernel with that change and tested it.

Comment:
CPU damage could be the outcome of this bug for users with certain models of Dell laptop who have disabled BIOS fan control and don't quickly notice that the fan isn't coming on after upgrading to kernel 6.1 from an older 5.x kernel.
