Cool, I agree with Hangbin that another patch which removes the redundant
checks in driver is needed.

But I have a simple question. I will send this patch to net one and another
to net-next one. How can I ensure the latter one depends on the former one?
Or should I send a patch series to net-next that contains the former one :)
(I currently choose the method 2 and please let me know if I do this wrong)
