This only looks at the root level of the tree, doesn't it?  Without
any caller in the same step, it is impossible to tell if that is an
outright bug, or merely an incomplete code that will gain recursion
in a later step.

If it is the latter, I do not think that is a patch series
organization that is very friendly to reviewers.
