Nicolas,

Did you have a chance to try this series again? I've retested 
on a BeagleBone-Black against both current net and linux-next, 
and I still can't reproduce see the failure you reported. I'm
hoping that was just the result of some unrelated and since-
resolved problem. 

Note that the 3rd patch has a merge conflict now, but it is 
trivially resolved by taking the (deletion of) lines from this 
series. If you'd like me to send a post-merge version, just 
let me know.

Also, I have just CCed you on a related patch that adds a 
dev_warn() which catches the case I mentioned at the end of my
previous email. I would suggest applying that as well, just to
remove some guesswork.

Thanks.
