Just checked linux-next, the first version that picked up the patches
is 2018-11-19. The one dated 2018-10-19 does not have them.

Bad timing, no wider testing has been done. The bug itself shows up
as a false warning, nothing really breaks. I would understand if you
prefer not to have them in the official tree at this time.
