The patch is the same.

I need to do some more testing, but I assume it *was* also broken in
Mainline until the whole section was rewritten.  Unfortunately, the
patch which does that does not apply to v5.10.y.  Again, I can look
into this, but I'm not quite sure how far the rabbit hole goes.

Ideally I'd like the original author and/or the domain experts to have
a look and chime in here.
