Ah, you're right sorry! Seems like you sent it two days after I sent the
v2 of this patch. Thanks a lot for continuing work on this! :)

Since I already sent v3 of this patch earlier, I think it is best if
I wait a bit first and see if Vinod has any comments or still wants to
take it for 5.16. Should be simple to rebase either of our patches on
the other one.

Thanks!
Stephan
