Very good, thank you!

One last little question here. I want to know if this is actually
fixing something or cleaning the exit path. What I mean is:
can the device ever send an NDF along with an RDF or TDF?
If not, this "Fixes:" tag should be removed and this patch can be
considered a cleanup. Otherwise would be nice to know what
failure are you fixing.
I'm just trying to understand here :)
