Thanks for your patch, pushed!

Could you have look into it?

very minor nit: checkpatch complains about minor issues. Although all but quoted
string split across lines are easily fixable we don't need to bother with it.
But could you please use checkpatch for new tests?
Also I'd personally join also strings which are below 100 chars, because it
helps to grep.

FYI we also support "linux-stable-git", but we mainly use it for stable branch
specific patches (something required just for stable), not for regular backports
of fixes.

Kind regards,
Petr
