ACK: [SRU] [B] [PATCH 0/1] Fix freeze at welcome screen

[Tim Gardner]

Hi Gerald - this kernel is owned by the stable team, so I'd best stay in 
my lane. Luke might be able to help you, though its possible this patch 
has already missed the window for the 2022.06.20 SRU cycle (due for 
release July 11).
