Thank you a lot for this fix! I will apply the patch. Plus, I want to
describe what it also made me do.

Bart's patches are in for-current and were planned to be sent to Linus
as an "after -rc1 cleanup". This patch tells me that we are not there
yet and the patch series should have a full cycle in -next, so we (read:
I) have more trust that we didn't overlook side-effects. As a
conclusion, I will move Bart's patch series to for-mergewindow and apply
your patch on top of it.

Bart, I am sorry for the delay it introduces, but I think the smoother
the transition the better. Maybe we can save some time somewhere else?

Happy hacking,

   Wolfram
