Sorry for the delay. I had remembered that there was a previous discussion
about that option but couldn't find the thread at first.

I now found
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAK8P3a3=eOxE-K25754+fB_-i_0BZzf9a9RfPTX3ppSwu9WZXw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

and will add Richard to Cc for my new version as well, just in case he
has objections
to this version and wants to fix it differently.
