Fixes: e590474768f1 ("driver core: Set fw_devlink=on by default")

I will have to drop this Fixes: tag if you don't mind, it is not
in the mainline.

That commit is in Greg's for-next tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/commit/?h=driver-core-next&id=e590474768f1cc04852190b61dec692411b22e2a

I was under the impression there are other commits with this
particular fixes tag, too. Either it was removed from
for-next queues or I was confused.

But I'm fine with removing the tag, assuming this will end
up together with the "driver core: Set fw_devlink=on by default"
commit in 5.11.

Definitely not v5.11.

And I sincerely doubt it will be applied for v5.12.
It's already way too late to implement all changes to existing drivers
needed, and get them accepted for v5.12.
