Since the patch is already in Linus's tree, you'll need to send a follow
up fix. Not only is it good practice for learning how to follow up on
issues/feedback on your patches, it will help build trust with
maintainers in case you submit other patches in the future because you
have already shown you are willing to take ownership of them. It is
generally better to send a patch if you are able than relying on a
maintainer to handle it, not only because they don't typically have the
bandwidth but because you will get full credit for the fix.

Thanks for taking care of this!
