Yes, that's the one. I was looking at yesterday's linux-next which still
had the bug, but your fix has made it into today's release, so my patch
is no longer needed.

Not necessary for this problem any more, but it could still make sense
if you think that improves the code. You can also try to see if marking
the function inline has any effect on code size or performance if either
of them matters.
