It obviously doesn't make much difference, but as you are respinning anyway...
Please could you always put fixes at the beginning of a set as it makes it
easier to back port them.  It think this one is simple enough that it is
worth applying to the stable kernels.

(naturally I could do that anyway as the rebase is trivial, so I'm just
encouraging good practice by asking you to do it in v3!)

Thanks,

Jonathan
