I replied in the other thread:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/87369xx99u.fsf@mpe.ellerman.id.au/

But then the merge window happened which is a busy time.

What I'd really like is a v3 that incorporates the info I wrote in the
other thread and a Fixes tag.

If you feel like doing that, that would be great. Otherwise I'll do it
tomorrow.

cheers
