I mean the maintainers fix really does look better... op can and is credited with finding the bug because and that literally is all he did in concern of the code that ended up in the kernel. If you look at the initial commit and the linked stackoverflow answer I understand that the maintainer was hesitant to merge and wrote a clean implementation of it. Not even going into the "laying words into someones mouth" shit he did.

He found a bug (even that is questionable because it got reported prior), copy&paste-developed a fix and is angry that it doesn't get merged and now throws a hissy fit that he got attributed with the exact thing he did. Looking at his employer makes this even funnier.
