Ah, odds are no one using that hardware is still using the 4.4 kernel.
It probably should just be reverted, but I'll not worry about it now.

If you want to run your tests/scripts on the 4.9 or other stable kernel
branches, to verify we didn't do much the same type of mistake there,
that would be most appreciated.  This is good stuff, thanks for doing
