Can you fill in more details about what the user visible problem is?
Judging by the fact that you haven't tagged the patch as

I don't think you were modifying this code, so no need to clean it up
in this commit. It's unrelated to the change you're making now.

Here, tho, you are changing the code, and yet you haven't done what
I asked.
