If I'm reading

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAL_JsqKZ6cEny_xD8LUMQUR6AQ0q7JKZMmdP-9MUZxzzNxZ3JQ@mail.gmail.com/

correctly - the warnings are expected but there needs to be a change 
to properties, so CR? (FWIW I'd lean towards allowing it still, even
tho net-next got closed. Assuming v2 can get posted and acked today.)
