Do I understand correctly this is a fix for an existing issue that has
nothing to do with the HOST MLE topic?

- separate patch from this series
- fixes tag
- cc stable

I will sperate this patch from Patch v8 and let it as a single patch.

- fixes tag
- cc stable

I don't understand what does this mean?
