At this point, it is best to send this _on top of_ the Realtek-merge
patches, even though the latter are more prone to revisions.

So the new patch set will include the merge changes, and the above
("return-values") changes, with the latter to be applied _on top of_
the former. I'll put a reminder of this in the submission email.
