This is the patch linked from the announcement
	https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/announce/2022-February/000333.html
with two changes: in our sources, the copyright year for the
Qt Company is 2016, the upstream patch says 2021. Changed that
to make the patch apply. The upstream patch is fetched with
CRLF line-endings, changed to plain LF.
