It seems that I overlooked this patch some how.

Through a quick glance, the patch needs the proper Signed-off-by line,
at least, for merging to the upstream.  Also, simple memset() with
zero could be used for clearing the com_buf.  Otherwise, it's fine to
apply as long as the stuff works more or less (at least improving
things).
