Thanks for the feedback, this fix being kind of "trivial" I didn't
initially want to include everyone and thought it would end up to the
main maintainer after being reviewed by the reviewers/authors of the
file, sorry for that, I will make sure every maintainer is included in
future patches.

On the other hand, I can confirm that I'm using the last kernel version.

Best regards,
