Hi Emil,

Many thanks to catch this and fix. Some comments below.

You missed to add the v2, please send the next patch with v3 prefix.

That's fine

Instead of describe the different calls involved and the returns. I'd explain
why using ret fixes the issue.

After thinking a bit more on this I think that how you fixed this is really
clear. I was wondering if the downstream solution would be better but as is
really late and will be good have this as urgent fix for the coming release I am
happy with it. We can always send follow up patches to sync with the downstream
version if is preferred.

Neil, can you give us your Tested-by to have the make sure this doesn't break
with protocol v1, I don't have such hardware.

Benson, will be really good have this merged in this rc. Are you fine with this
solution?

BTW, you can add my in next version.
