Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] Add "shutdown" to "struct class".

Thanks, Greg.

Greg, Jarkko: Do either of you you have any objections to me
backporting these changes to 4.4 and 4.9? I'd like to make sure that
at least the couple most recent LTS kernels have this patch. (I don't
care so much about 4.1 as it'll be EOL'd this September, according to
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html, but I can backport it
to there as well if desired.)

Thanks,

Josh
