I'm not sure what the policy is in netdev, but I would prefer to have
selftest changes in another patch (I think earlier in the series so as
not to break the bisection), in order to simplify backporting (e.g. in
CentOS Stream, to keep the backport small, I didn't backport the dozens
of patches for selftest that we did previously).  

Sounds good! I wasn't sure if breakage so tightly coupled should be in
the same patch or not, I'm happy to split it up to ease backporting.

FWIW the netdev recommendation is indeed to split the selftests out.
Also to bungle selftest patches with the fix into one series targeting
net, even tho the selftests patches won't have a Fixes tag.
