I commented on why this was changed in the previous patch, but now its been
reverted back here. Looks like a refactoring artifact that needs to be fixed in
patch 6.

I think this should be fpin = NULL here.

As you set it here for non-EXT fpins.

No longer need to set NULL here

Or here.

And here you set the ext-fpin case.
