I read your message and the fact that you provided a diff as a 
suggestion as to what would become acceptable if incorporating your 
suggested change, and made that a v3. If this was not acceptable to you 
from the get go, it would have been clearer with an explicit Nack like 
what others have done now.

Yes, so clearly I failed to convince all of you that if someone was able 
to trip over that problem, something should be done about it. No 
problem, these are not driver I maintain, so if someone hits the same 
issue, lore has the patches now.
