In the future, you should always include a version number in the email
Subject: line (for example, "[PATCH v2]") so that readers will know
which patch is which.  And you should include, here just below the "---"
line, a description of how this version differs from the previous
version.  See the email archives for examples of multi-version patches.

Nevertheless, this looks okay.

Noted. I'll do that for future patches. On a side note, any idea how long it
normally takes to get a simple patch like this committed? I've had mixed
experiences with getting feedback on patches. Sometimes my patches just get
totally ignored.

Depends on the subsystem and the patch submitted.

Greg tends to be quite good at merging patches in a timely manner.  They 
generally are committed within a few weeks.

In this case, should the patch also be added to the -stable kernels?

Also always use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to properly copy the needed
maintainers and mailing lists.  Sometimes patches get lost in the noise
if the right people are not copied.
