Oh, sorry, it seems like I've missed that somehow.  It wasn't in my mail box, 
but I just picked it up from

    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10300449/

It looks OK to me, so I'll include it in the next patch set.  FWIW, this sort 
of thing doesn't need to wait for the merge window as it's a small fix.
