Sorry, I didn't wanted to step in here just saw the patch and it is a
bit strange to fix something by a 2nd patch we introduce by the 1st
patch within the same series. This also increase the probability that
the 2nd patch isn't ported to stable. Anyway, if Vinod is fine with this
as maintainer than it is fine.
