Thanks for the catch, and sorry for the noise there. We do carry that
patch in rawhide, along with several other that change Crypto for RHEL
FIPS which upstream isn't interested in.  I typically drop those (and
many other RHEL specific patches) when I rebase stable Fedora.  But
those are poorly labelled and I suppose I missed it with the 6.15
rebase.  In normal rawhide, that is part of a larger patch series and
makes more sense.
Anyway, the patch should be dropped from the next stable Fedora releases.
