Here's a proposed v2. We test the same case, but I thought it made
sense to test this more exhaustively.

Let's first make a targetted fix that can be applied to maint and
below.  After that is merged to 'master', you are free to add more

but let's avoid to have more and more topics that go overboard.

So "submit a new version on-top" or "maybe deal with your existing

Comparing the five-patch series with Peff's small fix that is more
to the point, I have a feeling that the five-patch series, like many
other series from you, may be made unnecessarily large by not
resisting the temptation to including unessential "while at it"
changes.
