Yeah, sorry. I saw that, and did something wrong in "git commit --amend" 
so the change didn't get sent out. Or maybe I just forgot something.

Sadly it _just_ missed 5.6, but it's here now:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=be8c827f50a0bcd56361b31ada11dc0a3c2fd240

My apologies!
