Applied.

Please reference commits by also making mention of the commit
log message header line.  This way when a patch is backported
into another tree, people can still find it even if the
SHA1 ID is different.  For exmaple, I fixed the above to
read:

    This fix is ported from commit 662a96bd6f020782dfbdc0d0bd177c7dbb556687
    ("tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ON").

Thanks.
