Commit [1] reveals the issue and was originally scheduled for a driver-core
fixes PR, so it made sense for this patch to go together with [1]. However, I
told Linus [2] that I will hold back [1] for now and send it with the -rc1 PR to
give it some more time in linux-next.

So, if you can take this patch for -rc8, that'd be great.
