You sent me two patches for this:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/744661/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/744702/

The follow up one does not indicate v2, so I'm confused. I'm not sure
this is a resend or just a new version.

Another question that is not clear from your description is if you had
a look at the entire tree to find more spots like this, or you just
found this one and update it.

Ideally, it would be better to fix everything in one go, so we don't
have to deal with oneliner patches that just fix one single spot.

Thanks!
