Sedat reported the issue and already tested/verified the fix.  How
long should it sit in -next before sending a PR for inclusion to 5.3
(as opposed to letting it ride out to 5.4)?

It's the devil's compiler; wouldn't recommend.

In all seriousness, I'm missing giving an update at LPC this year
(have a much more important meeting:
https://ironmaiden.com/tours/legacy-of-the-beast-tour-2019-2019/usa-oakland-ca-oracle-arena-2019-09-10),
but I'm always happy to answer questions related to it or take a look
at bug reports.  Behan Webster is giving a talk about it at LPC
though!  Check it out if you're at LPC.
