Sorry, I was a little too hasty.

This patch looks good to me, but as this is a fix for change
present in net it should be targeted at net.

  Subject: [PATCH v4 net] ...

And it should be split out from the patchset comprising the remaining
patches in this series, which appear to be clean-ups (or at least not
but fixes). This rump patch-set should be targeted at net-next.
And ideally, IMHO, have a cover letter.

  Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 0/3] ...

Thanks!
