I think you are right and your change looks good.

After I got the original patch from Andre and the same one from Christoph,
I did not consider the possibility that they were both wrong and so I
applied Andre's version.

Can you resend the patch in proper form (with a Signed-off-by line,
rebased to mainline and with a changelog I can use)? I'll apply it as
soon as I get an Ack from Christoph then.

Thanks!
