Note, LLMs are very good at finding suspect "security issues" in kernel code these days. But even with the best of the current and next generation tools, at least 1/3 of the results they generate are flat out wrong or harmful. So, if you think your LLM-found/fixed issue in a drivers/staging/ file is really valid, it's fine to submit it BUT you must have first tested it on the actual hardware for the driver, and described how you have done so, in order for us to be willing to take the change.

Just like in a lot of other topics, neutrality doesn't exist here. If you're not actively opposing evil, you're supporting it. As a narrow example, be "neutral" to slop, drown in it immediately.
