Hi, thanks for the fix. Several comments:

1. I've removed the huge oops from the description - it is not very
helpful and not worth having.
2. It is usually a good idea to CC the author of the commit causing the
regression.
3. For regressions like this it is a good idea put the stable tree tag.

I've added

Cc: stable@...nel.org [3.2+]

(git tag --contains c797533 gives the version)

and pushed to the l2-mtd.git tree, thanks!
