Bah, thanks a lot for spotting and fixing my brainfart, really 
appreciated.

Now, the only branch I could actually technically apply this patch to 
would be for-next, but that'd be useless, as that is only an 
integration/testing branch, that doesn't get merged anywhere else than 
linux-next.

Would you be okay with me just redoing the merge into for-next with this 
fixup attributed to you in the merge message (and my git-rerere picking it 
up for upstream)?

Thanks Josh,
