So can you please add this patch to the stable trees that backported the
problematic upstream commit 6441fa6178f5456d1d4b512c08798888f99db185 ?

If I should submit this in any other way just ask, was not sure about
what works best with a patch which cannot be cherry-picked cleanly.

Ok, I'll submit it.

Thanks for the testing.

Does that mean I should not take the patch here in this email and that
you will submit it after some timeperiod, or that I should take this
patch as-is?

The patch that Thomas requested (commit 841c2be09fe) does not apply cleanly, so I'll take care of sending the backport.
