Bruno: Does that mean you actually tested that patch and it fixed the
problem for you? It looks like it, but there is some confusion about it;
that's one of the reasons why this patch didn't get any further yet
afaics, so a quick clarification might help to finally get this fixed
properly in mainline and stable.

Himanshu: While at it: Can you confirm this patch should get merged to
mainline? Seems Quinn is on PTO and his out-of-office reply mentioned
you as one point of contact.

Cheers, your regression tracker for Linux 4.7
