Since also 22.03 is affected ideally this should be backported so it
would be good to have an extra check if this is the actual fix :D

Don't know if jow can help but considering this doesn't introduce
anything new, we should be able to just bump the package release (can't
remember if iwinfo use AUTORELEASE) and this should be fixed for 22.03
(when backported)
