Shawn can you please try to repost this with something that does not
turn into quoted-printable? Look:

MIME-Version: 1.0

(...)

I can't apply that.

Second: if this is not an immediate regression I'd prefer to put it
for-next now, as touching this file always brings down something.

OK?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
