[ Upstream commit 57a489786de9ec37d6e25ef1305dc337047f0236 ]

Hello,

I guess it doesn't make much sense to add this patch to the 4.4 and 3.18 stable trees. The patch creates an arch-specific header (arch/riscv/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h), but the first mainline kernel with support for the RISC-V architecture has been kernel 4.15.

Regards,
Karsten

Sorry for the followup-to-self, I've only just received similar emails concerning the 4.9, 4.14 and 4.18 trees - of course the same reasoning applies there as well, so I think 4.18 is the only current stable tree for which adding the patch makes sense.

Regards,
Karsten

I agree.
