One nitpick to remove a newline, but aside from that:

Reviewed-by: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx>

(as usual, I do not mind if the nitpick gets resolved while applying).

Aesthetically speaking, I do not like turning the cases into compound

Nitpick: to be aligned with the above, also remove the newline here
(same as above):

-
+       }
