I agree with your analysis, but I'm not sure if this needs to be
backported to other kernels because:
- It is not a device that is easily available (currently),
- The bug is relatively minor
I'm not a maintainer so I'll let those folks decide if this should
be a net-next thing to reduce load on the stable folks.
In any case:
