Is that really the commit that introduced the bug? :)

Seems like it's more likely this one:

  Fixes: 77b54e9f213f ("powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus")

It's true that because the code was moved in d405a98c we won't be able
to automatically backport the fix past that commit, but we should still
identify the right commit in the Fixes tag.

cheers
