I have no particular objections to including this, but it only fixes
something for (unreleased) hardware that will likely never work on the
4.7 kernel (due to also unreleased firmware, and likelihood of never
releasing older firmware versions).

So there's almost certainly no point, but OTOH it also cannot possibly
hurt since this code path is only taken with that particular hardware.
