This really should have a note here which says:

v4: Sent this patch previously as part of a patchset, but pulled it
    out by itself because it's a bugfix and the rest of the patchset
    was cleanups.

Otherwise, it's like I remember that I have seen something like this
before but I don't know why I'm seeing this now.  I thought maybe it
was the same bug in a different driver or something so I had to look
it up on lore.

Anyway, looks good otherwise.
