Uploaded. By the way, you already have upload rights for rocblas, so
there is no need for an RFS (but it's always fine to ask for a review).
I rebuilt on my RX 6800 XT, but without the two packages from
experimental, and everything built fine. The 24 tests that failed last
time passed this time, I assume that's because of the added 0013 patch.

I'll do these right after the bookworm release, which is planned for
June 10th. I've caused some general confusion by doing stuff in unstable
during the freeze, so I'd prefer to just wait the extra week.
Best,
