Iff this patch is accepted, it must go in before [PATCH v2 2/3], else

I don't see it as a regression - the driver still works OK, it's only 
the byte swap option that's broken on Atari, and that's newly 
introduced.

But this patch changes the user space exposed platform device name, as 
you point out elsewhere. That's reason enough to drop it.


Such a script would be broken on q40 already.

When a fix has a dependency on a separate patch you can backport both by 
specifying a cherry-picking sequence. We may need Geert to add those 
commit hashes though. This is discussed in 
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
