checkpatch.pl criticizes the first patch (line over 80 characters), but
that line was just moved by this patch. Not sure what should be done in
such a case, but this line is killed by the next patch anyway.

I don't know how to test these changes. Fortunately they are rather simple,
and the first patch obviously fixes the bug.

Oleg.
