Ok, thank you for the explanation. I really appreciate it.

I considered doing that but I thought and upstream commit
ID was needed.

So it is the standard procedure. I just wanted to make
sure whether you wanted to have all the -stable patches
funnelled through you. I will send the patch to -stable
directly and Cc you as soon as it makes it into Linus'
tree.


By the way, I will be replying to this email with a
follow-up patch that I forgot to send the last time
around. It is just documentation for the quirk.

Thanks,
Fernando
