Hi Eric,
Thanks for the fix!
I believe it would be best to submit this fix separately from the current patch set. Since this addresses a bug rather than an enhancement or cleanup, sending it individually with the 'net' tag will help facilitate applying this patch to the net tree.
Ciao, Andrea
Then there would be a merge conflict between the two patchsets.
I can do that if you want, but then I'd probably have to wait for this patch to reach net-next before the rest can proceed.
