Are you OK with taking this patch as a fix for 4.14, or would you rather
have something that can safely backport past 4.12 without implicit
dependencies? This is a config/link-order dependent thing that's been
lurking since the beginning, but only coming to light now that other
drivers are changing their behaviour, so I don't think there's really a
single Fixes: commit that can be singled out.
