At the time of my original message (25 July 2018), 4.18.0-rc6+ was the latest upstream. I tested my change on that and
on the latest stable 4.14 series kernel, which was 4.14.57. I've just tested it with 4.18.3 and 4.14.65 and it works
fine. I don't have a 4.19 development kernel installed at the moment - I'm busy with other stuff.
