Then why not just have this be a "normal" revert commit?

And why is this ok for stable kernels?  This feels like a new feature
(i.e. the code finally works.)  Why not just have users who want to use
this use a newer kernel?  What bugfix does this resolve in older kernels
(and "the driver did not work" is not really a good reason.)
