Thanks for highlighting - I didn't notice this series.
I have acked the DPAAX patch - 32 bit and large file is not really a 'worry' case.
Also, I can't test my patch as I am unable to reproduce this issue. So, anyways yours is better - it continues to keep the variable dumped in debug, and assuming you would have verified it somehow.

I will reject/suspend this patch in Patchwork.
