Confirmed.  I built kernels for our tester that started with the
working snapshot and applied the patches above one at a time.  The
failing patch was the commit you suspected.

I can try and build a 4.2-rc4 kernel with that reverted, but it would
be good if someone could start thinking about how that could cause
this issue.
