The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable_kernel_rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to <[email protected]> and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

This should never have been submitted to stable. My apologies. Please delete all of the versions of this patch.
