We cannot test a patch like this one on all affected platforms/drivers
(at runtime). Simply because we have not the hw. As Peter said, we
tested this by compilation only for now via make allyesconfig. That's up
to the maintainer of the subsystem to test and ack this, imho.
I agree with Peter, this should not affect runtime (as semantically it's
compatible and have been validated statically and semantically by your
compiler)

Romain
