I don't have a strong opinion on this either way, but I would just
not apply this one for 5.13 in this case. Rob, Alexandre, please
let me know if I should apply the other patches before the
merge window, I usually don't mind taking bugfixes late before the
merge window, but I still want some level of confidence that they
are actually correct.

Ahmad, if you feel strongly about this particular issue, would you like
to suggest a patch for the checker?
