Hmmm. I see the same check in v3.10 compared to v3.6 which so I *think*
v3.10 has the same problem.
However this does not look to be -RT specific, you should see the same
problem in mainline, too. Could you please verify whether this does
affect v3.10? And if it does, we should try to fix up it upstream, too
