I still have 200+ patches to go through for the 4.2-stable series.
Patches that are submitted for -rc1 merging obviously must not be all
that series for maintainers, otherwise they would have gotten them
merged into the -final release, so take it up with the author/maintainer
of this patch :)

In other words, be patient, it will make it into some future 4.2-stable
release.  If you _must_ have this patch now, it's trivial for you to add
it to your own kernels that you build.

thanks,

greg k-h
