Since v4 was posted during the merging window, it hasn't been queued for
5.19-rc1. I normally only merge patches with a Fixes tag during the -rc
period (though there are some exceptions). Mark commented in v1 that
such tag isn't necessary, so I thought I'd leave it for the 5.20 merging
window.

That said, the diffstat is small, so if it helps having this in 5.19, I
can queue it for -rc4.
