Yes, that change is required, but it is a little tricky because this
patchset targets main tree where sfc is not merged yet, so this patch
can't include required patches.

I think it is possible to wait for this patch to be merged into main
tree, and when next-net rebased on top of it, sfc can be patched
individually.

So, yes there is a work to do there, but I think it can be postponed a
little.
