NAK. It's not user visible, it's a piece of code that has a pile of other
more important fixes needed first, and it's also as far as possible kept
aligned with the Android upstream.

If it were some random otherwise unchanging bit of code then it might
just about make sense but in this case no - especially when you only
change one of the two returns of -1 !
