Thanks! The fix is now in Jiri's tree and if nothing goes wrong, the
commit-id will be 19872d20c890073c5207d9e02bb8f14d451a11eb
It is marked as "for-3.12/upstream-fixes" so should go to Linus soon.
I will monitor this and let you know once it is in (as it isn't marked
for stable, either).

Thanks
David
