I think the series looks fine, but I also think the long explanation
(that I snipped in this reply) in the cover letter should be there in
the kernel tree.

So if you send me this as a single pull request, with that explanation
(either in the email or in the signed tag - although you don't seem to
use tags normally - so that we have that extra commentary for
posterity, that sounds good.

That said, this fix seems to not matter for normal operation, so
unless it's holding up something important, maybe it's 5.8 material?
