Ok, for the unopened ports there *should* never be any actual data to
push so the push is really doing nothing anyhow in these cases. It's
coming from the device sending an initial change port command.

Anyhow, so my patch adding more is_open logic can be dropped and then
yours will apply fine. What's the best way for me to handle this?
Send a revert for my patch so yours will apply or send an updated
version of your patch that removes my additions?
