It is not clear if this is kernels 6.2 or later, or just that version.
Also, distribution kernel versions don't reflect upstream so if you are complaining about
RHEL etc. The code is version independent (good). It would be good to supply more
commit information (ideally upstream commit id) in this patch commit log.

Also 6.2 kernel is end-of-life (May 2023) so users should be using older or later
supported kernel version.
