Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your comments and you're right.
My apologies—since this patch was submitted some time ago, I lost track of the context when sending v2 and made an incorrect modification. I'll remove the erroneous code.
Regards
Zhichao

This part wasn't in v1, was it? It looks wrong to me, and the original code
looks correct. Given that offset and new_data should both be 40-bit
quantities, any wraparound would be at 40-bits rather than 32-bits no? Can
you explain why we would use a 32-bit shift here?
