Done. I have submitted the five rose fixes as a pull request to the
mod-orphan repository:

https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan/pull/1

The PR contains six commits:

1. rose: build with hamradio_compat.h on pre-7.0 kernels
(compat shim for struct sockaddr_unsized, required by af_rose.c)
2. rose: fix dev_put() leak in rose_loopback_timer()
3. rose: hold loopback neighbour reference across timer callback
4. rose: fix race between loopback timer and module removal
5. rose: clear neighbour pointer after rose_neigh_put() in state machines
6. rose: guard rose_neigh_put() against NULL in timer expiry

All five fixes have been built and tested successfully against kernel
6.17.0-23-generic (pre-7.0): insmod, functional operation, and rmmod
all completed cleanly with no crash or leak detected.
