I didn't see one... I was assuming it was a submission to be pushed
upstream during the merge window.

It doesn't fix a regression, so it doesn't seem to me to be a case for a
late -rc merge.  It's hardware enablement, so it *might* qualify for
2.6.29-stable, as far as I understand Greg and Chris' policies.
