board is controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential
exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
Applied and queued up for -stable.

Do not CC: -stable for networking fixes, we take care of the stable
submissions manually for this subsystem.
Yeah. I'm aware of that. The thing is that you don't appear
as a maintainer of this file:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback -f drivers/atm/iphase.c
Chas Williams [off-list ref] (maintainer:ATM)
linux-atm-general@lists.sourceforge.net (moderated list:ATM)
netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:ATM)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

so, I didn't know this patch would be applied to net.

Thanks
