No need to apologise, just trying to figure out what's going on. Thanks for
the explanation.

My experience with linux-next is that it doesn't get tonnes of runtime
testing but rather lots of build testing, so I'd be inclined to queue
this for 5.6 (i.e. for the upcoming merge window) and revert it the moment
it causes a problem.

I'll stick it on its own branch so we can also drop it if something comes
up before then.
