The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.12-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable_kernel_rules.rst.
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,
greg k-h
