I fully agree with this patch and thought about the same thing during my work. However, the timing of this patch is not too good, as this one will totally conflict with any other patch for tc358767, and my series is still evolving. We need to figure out how to combine this series and mine, but I think either this patch should be dropped for now, and reapplied after the other patches have stabilized, or I think preferably, this one could be rebased on top of 5.1-rc1, and used as a base for all other tc358767 work.
