In my tests I've found that this patch, merged as commit 42b0ef01e6b5 
("block: fix FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP parsing in blkdev_common_ioctl()"), 
breaks udev operation on some of my test boards - no /dev/disk/* entries 
and directories are created. Reverting $subject on top of next-20250728 
fixes/hides this problem. I suspect that another corner case is missing 
in the checks. I will try to investigate this a bit more later, probably 
tomorrow.
