FWIW, the upstream patch fixes the crash for me.

Do I understand it correctly that there is no perfect branch for such
testing (testing that aims at catching regressions asap and not
reporting what's already fixed)? Both mainline and linux-next miss
some fixes and functionality that is present on the other branch,
right?
