Hi Marc,

First thing I will have to mark it as a Fixes: (if Remi can provide
me with a tag that'd be great), usually we send fixes at -rc* for
patches that fix code that went in the current (eg 5.4) material,
I will ask Bjorn to see if we can send this in one of the upcoming
-rc* even if it fixes older code.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
