While it may be a fix, given that:

I don't see much point to putting it in the net tree - you're addressing
problems with a driver that is currently not in a usable state in
mainline, so there's no need to rush to have this change in mainline.
I think the net-next tree will do once it re-opens after v7.0-rc1 has
been released.

Thanks.
