We're still only at -rc3 so if you need another couple of days to get
an alternate solution out for review/discussion I think that's okay.
However, the solution proposed here is rather small and easy to
understand, which has a lot of value for an -rcX fix.  If the
alternative is notably larger and/or more complex, the patch here may
be preferable for v6.14 with the alternative/"proper-fix" being
something we can queue up for the next merge window.

Regardless, let's see Casey's fix before we worry too much about this.
