I see that your patch was applied again successfully after failure.
There is one feedback from AI review that I see valid:

This isn't a bug, but the destination capacity is now hard-coded in the
body while the interface says nothing about it.  The declaration in
net/tipc/bearer.h is still:
	int tipc_bearer_get_name(struct net *net, char *name, u32 bearer_id);
and the comment directly above the implementation only says:
	 *     @name: a pointer to the buffer where the name will be stored.
Should the TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME requirement be spelled out in the comment
or in the prototype, so that the interface and the body agree?
In the current tree there is no behavioural change: the only caller is
__tipc_nl_add_monitor() in net/tipc/monitor.c, which declares
char bearer_name[TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME], and the source is
char name[TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME] in struct tipc_bearer, so the copy can
neither truncate nor overflow.
The strscpy() return value is also discarded, so a future caller passing a
smaller buffer would get a silently truncated name plus a return of 0.
Would passing a size_t len from the caller (sizeof(bearer_name)) and
forwarding strscpy()'s -E2BIG through the existing int return be preferable
to a hard-coded bound?

Please update your patch and send the new version after Aug 31st. (Because net-next is closed now)
