    I'm always a bit confused when I have to send patch to mixed subsystem
    (not the case but for net trigger it's almost that). Sorry for the
    confusion/noise.

    This is strictly a fix, no dependency or anything like that. Maybe using
    net as target would make this faster to merge (since net is for fix only
    and this has to be backported) than using leds-next?

    Again if needed I can send v2 with the correct tag for net subsystem if
    better.
