If you prefer a single patch doing both, then I can integrate it into
mine if that helps; but if you want to drive it, that sounds good too,
of course.

Otherwise, I suggested back then to do 2 patches, e.g. one simplifying
the C side first, and then the one adding the Rust side, because that
sounded cleaner:

(We could do it the other way around to keep the Tested-by from
Andreas, but a lot of time has passed, so it would be best to ask for
a re-test -- Cc'ing Andreas).

Cheers,
