Hi Michal,
Thank you for sending v2 so promptly! And for all the extra changes and
fixes. Much appreciated!

Small nitpicks: it would be PCIe here in the above and in the error
message (this is as per [1]), and "use cases" also in the above.
This can be corrected when the patch will be merged by either Bjorn or
Lorenzo, to avoid sending v3 unnecessarily, provided that they would
have a moment to do it, of course.

Thank you!
Does it make sense for this change to be back-ported to stable and
long-term kernels?
I am asking to make sure we do the right thing here, as I can imagine
that older kernels (primarily because some folks could use, for example,
Ubuntu LTS releases for development) might often be used by people who
work with the Xilinx FPGAs and such.

As per the nitpick above, it would be "PCIe", but probably no need to
send v3 to correct this.
