While I didn't provide a formal patch, I did outline the two
lines that needed to be changed (and it is obvious that the
behavior is strictly equivalent to the VLA solution, as long
as num_parents < 8).

I do agree with you that, considering the silence from the
driver's maintainers, they probably don't care which solution
is adopted.

I will remember to post an actual patch next time.

Regards.
