This patch is modified according to the contents of the latest kernels,
the following is a reference:
[ Upstream commit b6163f194c699ff75fa6aa4565b1eb8946c2c652 ]
[ Upstream commit 4950c2ba49cc6f2b38dbedcfa0ff67acf761419a ]

Then you need to be extremely clear in the commit message which specific 
branch you are targeting, which commits you used as a reference, and how 
you are fixing the problem. Also, the register is commonly named BMSR 
(Basic Mode Status Register), no idea what GBSR means.
