3.16.36-rc1 review patch.��If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
Do not backport this one. It'll break things.
But this has not been re-reverted in mainline, has it? �Is it that
3.16-stable would need more changes backported to make this work, or is
mainline currently broken on Cherryview hardware?
No, as of 4.7 we have a proper fix, but it's a bit too big to backport
(see [1]). I think 4.6.x is still busted, but Greg said he'd revert
this broken patch there, so it should get fixed eventually.

OTOH CHV wasn't even officially supported until maybe 4.1, so whatever
you do in 3.16 shouldn't really matter.
OK, I've dropped this.

It's a bit tedious having to block the same patch from different stable
trees over and over again. It would be nice it there would be some kind
of stable blacklist you guys could share so that we wouldn't have to
repeat this dance with every stable maintainer...
Sorry about that; I do try to look for things like that on the stable
list but it's too high volume for me to keep up with most of the time.
I understand. Have the same problem myself often enough. Which is why I
think a blacklist type of thing might be the better option. But maybe
cc:stable mislabeling doesn't happen often enough to warrant it.
