Please leave at least 24 hours between submissions. I'll look at the
patch in more detail, but wanted to get this out before you send a v3.
Seeing you cite the commit that actually added this code, this never
worked, is therefore no regression, and should be aimed at next instead
of net / stable.

I understand you don't have Spectrum switches lying around to actually
test this out, but seeing the 'truea' typo... this _was_ at the very
least build-tested, right?
