Could you consider adding the credit to the people who are in this patch that addresses the same issue?

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/856908/

Any version is fine with me, as long as the patch makes it in. I picked
up Jesse's patch and forwarded that one, as he seems to have been
the first person to send a patch back in November.

Comparing the two versions, I think that one is also better since it correctly
identifies the license as "Dual MIT/GPL", matching the comment.
