I tested below fixing at my side, and confirm your fixing also can
resolve this issue. After reviewing the change, it's more neat than my
own change . So you could add my test tag :)
Tested-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@...aro.org>
BTW, I have a minor comment for code refactoring, it's up to you if
need or not and if need use a new patch for refactoring, please see below
inline comment.
Thanks,
Leo Yan

Do you think below format is better or not?
