Hi Greg -

Please drop this patch from the 5.18-stable queue. It was the first of an 
8-patch series and doesn't really stand alone.

This commit message lacks the Fixes: tag and the magic commit message 
words that I've seen the scripts pick up, so I'm curious: was this patch 
selected by hand?


Thanks,

Mat
