This issue was introduced because I simplified the underlying SMD
implementation while the SMD adaptions of the driver sat on the mailing
list, but missed to update these patches. The patch does however only
apply back to the transition to rpmsg, hence the limited Fixes.

As this is a regression I'll queue this to 4.12.
Thanks.
But if this is an older bug (didn't quite understand your description
though) should there be a separate patch for stable releases?
AFAICT this never worked, as it seems I did the rework in SMD while we
tried to figure out the dependency issues we had with moving to SMD. So
v4.9 through v4.11 has SMD support - with this bug.
How do I proceed, do you want me to write up a fix for stable@? Do I
send that out as an ordinary patch?
If the patch applies cleanly on branches linux-4.9.y through
linux-4.11.y in the stable repository you can go for '--- Option 1 ---'
as described in <linux-repo>/Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
