k8s-ci-robot: Hi @minikube-bot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a [kubernetes](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/people) member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with `/ok-to-test` on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should [join the org](https://git.k8s.io/community/community-membership.md#member) to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the `ok-to-test` label.

I understand the commands that are listed [here](https://go.k8s.io/bot-commands?repo=kubernetes%2Fminikube).
