Thought some more about this. I think this new WEIGHT sample type is in the wrong place in Andi's patch. It's new, it should be put at the end of perf_output_sample(). That's necessary to ensure older versions of perf (without the knowledge about WEIGHT) can still decode PERF_SAMPLE_READ in case PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is present in the perf.data file.
I will update his patch to reflect this change.
