FWIW, I sent a backport of a slightly earlier version of this patch, but all I got back was vitriol about violating the kernel Documentation on sending to stable. Maybe a native english speaker could re-write that Documentation, so that a native english speaker can understand it? Or better yet, somebody can write a script or update checkpatch so that developers can more likely avoid the Soup Nazi treatment? ie. I agree with you, and I'm happy to help, but it isn't clear how.
