This fix is already part of the pending DPP series by Jason Huang / Kurt
Lee (Infineon/Cypress), which I reviewed on 2026-07-06 and asked to be
split out as a separate patch with a Fixes: tag. I expect the DPP authors
will be addressing this in their next revision.

Could you clarify what your relation is to that series and whether you are
working with those authors?

I am not applying this patch.
