The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable_kernel_rules.rst.
This should never have been submitted to stable. My apologies. Please delete
all of the versions of this patch.
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,
