Merge tag 'modules-6.2-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull module fix from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Theis is a fix we have been delaying for v6.2 due to lack of early
  testing on linux-next.

  The commit has been sitting in linux-next since December and testing
  has also been now a bit extensive by a few developers. Since this is a
  fix which definitely will go to v6.3 it should also apply to v6.2 so
  if there are any issues we pick them up earlier rather than later. The
  fix fixes a regression since v5.3, prior to me helping with module
  maintenance, however, the issue is real in that in the worst case now
  can prevent boot.

  We've discussed all possible corner cases [0] and at last do feel this
  is ready for v6.2-rc6"
