Thanks for your indulgence :-) With the white-space damage fixed...

Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@...t.co.uk>

I test built this for v6, v6k and v7 before and after applying the patch
to verify if behaves as expected, so you can add my Tested-by if you
want.

I also tried a v4 platform (forgot we supported those) and there will be
a patch coming to fix that...
