As per the comment here, it seems that you applied v4 version of patch.

But when I look at the upstream kernel, the very first version of the
patch was applied, which was wrong.

Basically the change should be in sensor_hub_get_feature() not in
sensor_hub_set_feature().
Otherwise it breaks sensor functionality.

How should we handle this?

Hi Srinivas,

my whole queue is now merged by Linus, so any fixups should be submitted 
as standalone patches on top of current Linus' tree; I'll push the fix to 
Linus then for 4.10 still.

Ideally we also put proper "Fixes:" tag, so that it gets picked up by 
4.9-stable once/if there is one.

Thanks, and sorry for my brainfart; I'll check my archives to see what 
went wrong.
