This unbreaks support for USB devices, which do not have a board_type
to create an alt_path out of and thus were running into a NULL
dereference.

binaries")

Technically, all patches that are intended to be included into next
stable kernel update require the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag.

Being the nit picker that I am I would say it is recommended to safe
yourself extra work, not required, for the reason you give below.

Will be nice if stable tag could officially become a recommendation,
implying the stable tag. It's a requirement today, at least Greg KH
always demands to add it :)

*implying the stable tag if "fixes" tag presents.

I was a little confused reading your previous email in this thread. This 
makes a lot more sense :-p
