Hi Andrew, I appreciate your help getting this submitted to mainline.

Noting that other folks are hitting this frequently:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKwvOdkh=bZE6uY8zk_QePq5B3fY1ue9VjEguJ_cQi4CtZ4xgw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

CrOS folks are already shipping v3 downstream since this is blocking
the release of their toolchain.

(Also, I appreciate folks' thoughts on the comments in the patch, but
please stop delaying this patch from hitting mainline. You can
rewrite the commit message to whatever you want, delete it for all I
care, please for god's sake please unbreak the build first).
