Although I highly welcome the cleanup proposed by Marcin, I feel it is
not proper to submit an ack for patches that are not submitted as
such.
Acked-by indicates approval, and I find it somewhat fishy to approve a
patch that you haven't seen yet.
(without wanting to question the value or quality of Marcin's work, as
that will undoubtly be ok).
