I am very sorry Daniel, but I found v2 much easier to understand :(

Could you refrain from doing cleanups in this patch,
only provide the very minimal fix ?

No empty lines additions or deletions and stuff like that...

Then, we can cleanup for net-next later if you really want ;)

I know its _very_ tempting to do cleanups, but its very time consuming
to review patches having real stuff done (like bug fixes) and cleanups.

Thanks !
