Note that while the patch is still correct, the problem isn't that bad
any more since commit 01ccf903edd65f6421612321648fa5a7f4b7cb10 was
reverted.

So .get_state is only called once during boot where the breakage doesn't
hurt that much.

I let you decide if you still want to apply this patch.

Best regards
Uwe
