What effect does this have? What issue does this fix? Is this a
fix which also needs to be propagated to the stable kernels, if so
why? etc.

Your patch describes what it does, it doesn't say why its a good
fix or what was affected before. Please clarify all this as best
as you can so we can help ACK/NACK/propagate the patch to stable
if it is appropriate.
