Yes, introducing that diet variant in master seems like a good idea.  It
will be part of the next 20.XX stable release.  As Adrian also pointed
out, the problem is backporting it to the 19.07 branch: it might break
user expectations.

I've sent a v2 with this approach, everything works fine on a QCA9886.  I
will try to test it a bit more on different hardware this week-end.

More testing is welcome.
