Sorry I missed that history. The script I used to identify patches noticed
that this patch was not applied, but I did not have a check for already-
reverted patches.

Chunyan, Baolin: it seems the spreadtrum 4.4 kernel got this wrong
as well, by backporting the patch again on top of 4.4.172. Can you check
the latest internal version for this?
