Also, what does this patch actually do?
I have a canned response nowadays:
When writing a changelog, please describe the end-user-visible effects
of that bug, so that others can more easily decide which kernel
version(s) should be fixed, and so that downstream kernel maintainers
can more easily work out whether this patch will fix a problem which
they or their customers are observing.
