Applied to for-next, thanks!

Some comments for next contributions. Please send new patches always in
a new thread. It was a bit confusing here to find the latest one.

Also, while the code change looks easy, this is not a trivial change, so
trivial@ is not appropriate here. Trivial patches are more like typos or
whitespace fixes.

Nonetheless, thanks again for your efforts in timely debugging this!
