Created attachment 17908 [details] backported patch for stable branches
Pushed to autobuild-v4-{18,17}-test.

autobuild-v4-17-test failed several times with failure for task samba-h5l-build during make Reassigning to Björn. Please check.
I don't think that this commit is related with those build failures. But as we had this issue for so many years, it won't be a big deal if we leave 4.17 unfixed. Closing this as fixed now.
