Great! I see you already fixed up to 5.15. I suppose the code is really
backportable to the other still active branches (5.10, 5.4, 4.19).

We discussed in v1 how to fix tests.  Neil suggested to fix the test the way so
that it works on all kernels. As I note [1]

1) either we give up on checking the new functionality still works (if we
fallback to old behavior)
2) or we need to specify from which kernel we expect new functionality
(so far it's 5.15, I suppose it will be older).

I would prefer 2) to have new functionality always tested.
Or am I missing something obvious?

Kind regards,
Petr
