Re: WTF: patch "[PATCH] tg3: Don't turn off led on 5719 serdes port 0" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 3.11-stable tree?

Hi Greg,
It does seem to meet the stable rules to me.

It fixes a bug of the "oh, that's not good" kind - ifconfig down on port 0 powers down all the other ports 1-3.

Thanks,
Nithin.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.

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

Subject: [PATCH] tg3: Don't turn off led on 5719 serdes port 0

Turning off led on port 0 of the 5719 serdes causes all other ports to
lose power and stop functioning. Add tg3_phy_led_bug() function to check
for this condition. We use a switch() in tg3_phy_led_bug() for
consistency with the tg3_phy_power_bug() function.
