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.
