Actually the previous version of that patch has already been applied
to mhi-next, but has been nacked as part of Mani's PR, so it's a quick
follow-up fix to address the issue.

Yes, I 100% agree, but I however would prefer to keep that for a
follow-up series since this patch fixes a real issue for MHI/PCI
modems (no inbound QRTR buffers allocated).
