Please, it's been 6 days, there is also a maintainer (Liang) in
between, I'm fine with the patch but it was too late to take it as
part of my previous fixes PR. As said earlier today on the mailing list
to Christophe I will make another fixes PR next week (I'll wait for the
current one to be part of the next -rc tag).

By the way any reason not to have Cc'ed stable?
