When machine check occurs with MSR(RI=0), it means MC interrupt is
unrecoverable and kernel goes down to panic path. But the console
message still shows it as recovered. This patch fixes the MCE console
messages.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Ouch. My mistake. Will follow Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

Additionally I appreciate it if you can add a Fixes: line. Which
indicates the commit that introduced the bug you are fixing. It is
documented in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

In this case it looks like it would be:

Fixes: 36df96f8acaf ("powerpc/book3s: Decode and save machine check event.")
