Looking at the very first version of the patch I sent,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7aa70809eff3f32d821761d2a763e4fb72ecc8fb.1609844956.git.viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx/
this change was the only thing that was required to make it work.
I think the reason was that "outform != NULL" as -O option was passed
by the kernel.
