'Owning' like he is the guy who can sell it ? OK I understand now
so many people send 'cleanups' ;)

Someone adding a space is not responsible for the real bug.

You'll have to be very careful to do proper attributions.

This is _critical_ for proper stable submissions.

In this case we want the fix to reach linux-3.4 and further versions.

The commit you pointed out was for linux-3.9, and added no bug.
