Looks good to me. While it's a fix, I think it's not very urgent, we
lived with that since 13 years and is very unlikely to trigger.
So I applied it to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ukleinek/linux.git pwm/for-nexxt
as 7.4-rc1 material. This branch isn't written in stone, so I'll still
take acks for the patch, and I will rebase it to 7.3-rc1 once that is
available.
Thanks for your contribution,
Uwe
