I'm missing something here:

* What makes you think this is caused by bdb616479eff419? I didn't see
anything in the thread that claims this, but I might be missing something
* related: if I understand Randy right, this is only happening in -next;
so why is bdb616479eff419 the culprit, which is also in mainline since
End of June?

And asking for a revert already is a bit jumping the gun; sure, it would
be good to get this fixed, but remember: developers have a lot on their
plate and thus sometimes are forced to set priorities; they also
sometimes go on vacation or are afk for other reasons; and sometimes
they just miss a mail or two. These are just a few reasons why there
might be good reasons why Thomas didn't look into this yet, hence please
first ask really kindly before asking for a revert.

Ciao, Thorsten
