Indeed, it's not fixing a visible thing, unless you resume from
suspend to ram. However, the original driver declares and updates
'win_protect ' variable, which have remained unused for past 3 years:)
If you think it's not worth cc'ing stable despite that, I will remove
the notification.

Indeed, my mistake.
