I picked up this patch from Lede source tree
https://github.com/lede-project/source/ for stable 4.9.

Thanks for pointing it out. I indeed missed out on picking
de856416e714 ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Fix erroneous jal to
plat_irq_dispatch") and dda45f701c9d ("MIPS: Switch to the irq_stack
in interrupts"). Should I pick them too for 4.9/4.10 stable or drop
these 3 IRQ stack patches altogether if they are not stable material?
