Hey Greg,  At first, I didn't think it is needed because, while the bug is
indeed present in that code, it is only exposed (and causes problems) with
the new T6 hardware.   But now I think I'd like the fix pulled in 4.4-stable
to avoid any issues if T6 support is pulled into that base.

Thanks!

Steve
