Hi Paolo,

Noted. I wanted to reduce the number of patches on net tree given we are 
at the end of the development cycle. To be honest, the stable backport 
isn't that important here, this is a trivial fix that I doubt it was 
breaking anyone.

Maybe drop Fixes tag and get it into net-next then? Fine for me anyway, 
I trust your judgement on this.

Thanks,
Fernando.
