Lindahl's linearizability conjecture for positive-characteristic polynomials

Let p3p\geq 3 be a prime number, let K\mathcal{K} be a complete non-Archimedean field of characteristic pp, and let λK\lambda\in\mathcal{K} be neither a root of unity nor satisfy 1λ1|1-\lambda|\geq 1. For a polynomial

f(z)=λz+i=2nai1ziK[z],f(z)=\lambda z+\sum_{i=2}^n a_{i-1}z^{i}\in\mathcal{K}[z],

Lindahl's conjecture. The polynomial ff is linearizable if and only if ai=0a_i=0 for every i2i\geq 2 such that pip\nmid i. This conjecture refines Lindahl's known examples of non-linearizable and linearizable power series in positive characteristic, and predicts that the absence of terms whose exponents are not divisible by pp exactly characterizes linearizability in this polynomial family.
