The related fix[1] was merged in the nf tree. It's not in net-next yet
and I'm not sure it'll have a chance to get there before the merge
window, but I don't think this matter much (there is no real dependency
between the two, except for avoiding to introduce a runtime warning).
I'll submit this formally.
