4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit 08acbdd6fd736b90f8d725da5a0de4de2dd6de62 upstream. This reverts commit 353748a359f1821ee934afc579cf04572406b420. It bypassed the linux-mtd review process and fixes the issue not as it should.
