So, both patches were updated and especially 2/2 misses... - Tested-by's - Reference of 2/2 to 1/2 - CC: stable v3.17+/v3.18+ ? (1/2 has a hint for backporting in case of 3.17+ which is BTW EOL, not sure if there are main distros supporting linux-3.17.y) BTW, do you happen to know if there is a someting like a "Requires-tag" or "Precondition-tag" (for example the Fixes-tag is very helpful)? AFAICS people place such information into the commit-message. I have seen "References:" but this is more to point to a bug-tracking-system (BTS).
