That was all present in my patch from earlier this year[1], which this one is clearly based on.
And "based on" is a very generous term in this case, since what the author appears to have done is take it outright, leaving the commit message completely unchanged, ripping out the original authorship and reposting it as their own - with some fresh new bugs sprinkled in for good measure. Which needless to say is not just highly questionable from a legal standpoint but also just deeply, deeply uncool.
I'm going to assume that this was done with no ill intent behind it, especially since by CCing me to the series they did the exact opposite of trying to cover their tracks ;)
Still, this contribution is completely unacceptable due to both technical and legal factors and should be disregarded.
My sincere apologies, this was my first time trying to refresh a series like this and I obviously went about it the wrong way. I commit to getting it right next time. -matt
