Yeah, that is true, but I'd be marking it for 4.19 stable anyway as we
do want newer devices to wake up on keyboard activity, so there was no
reason not to send it now. If we have to revert we'd be reverting
everywhere anyways.

FWIW Daniel posted the patch a while ago, we just have been working out
kinks in handling builds with different config options.

Thanks.
