Hi Joey, this doesn't really warrant a patch, it's just not important and there
isn't great RoI on the churcn here. It is also very silly to make this two
patches, it should only be one.

Also please do run scripts/get_maintainers.pl when you're doing this, Kees is on
the list but he is joined by many esteemed kernel colleagues ;))
