Ooookay, noted. I'll put it on my todo-list. But frankly, I can't give
this priority for a while :/ SDHI is used on a lot of platforms, even on
different architectures. Regression testing will be a big one here.

As said above, I can't do this in the foreseeable future. However, this
series fixes an issue we see. So, my vote goes for applying this now.
