I used bpf-next tree, but could be reproduced with [1] as well,
commit ID [2]. Decoded dmesg for this commit ID in [3].

[1] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
[2] abf2050f51fd ("Merge tag 'media/v6.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media")

No changes in behaviour.
