The change so far is a improvement in error handling -> which,
personally I find nice, but not necessarily related to the $subject or
covered in commit message. I suggest splitting that specific change
out as a patch of it's own.

tricky... :) I finally did catchup on previous discussions
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4199601/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4199741/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4215901/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4220431/

So, will let Rafael comment better here.
