The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.7-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and let me know why this patch should be
applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.
thanks,
