The patch below does not apply to the 4.1-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to [off-list ref].

I will also backport a dependendency and send them to stable as a
series.

Thanks.

What's the standard mechanism for tagging backports (ie how do
you prefer me stating which stable kernel version the series
should be applied to - eg v4.1.17 ?) Usual Cc: tag or a line in
the commit log would do ?

Either is fine, I can handle it either way.

thanks,
