commit 8c57cac1457f3125a5d13dc03635c0708c61bff0 upstream

Sunrise Point PCH with SPS Firmware doesn't expose working MEI
interface, we need to quirk it out.
The SPS Firmware is identifiable only on the first PCI
function of the device.

I don't understand what this is for, it's already in the
4.8-stable tree.  And there you said it only needed to go to 4.6
and newer, yet you are

saying 4.4 here?

What am I supposed to do?

It's needed 4.4, but the original patch does apply cleanly only
from 4.6 up, so

this is the rebased version over 4.4. Since 4.4 is a long term
kernel this is important.

I  see from time to time broken patches in stable,  mostly in 3.X
series, so I

prefer to do the back port myself.

Ok, but your [char-misc] in the subject confused me.  Please make
this a bit more explicit next time.

I see, it's automated in my scripts. Will [char-misc 4.4] or [stable 4.4] works

for you?

It's not that automated as it is misspelled in this series :)

Yes I know, the script is a bit dyslectic., AI is going too far :)

Anyway, stable would make more sense, char-misc 4.4 does not mean
anything...

Okay, will skip to that, Maybe Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt need some updates,
 also not sure you followed the mail thread regarding the git send-email issue 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/24/836
Your input will be valued. 

Thanks
