Technically, this upstreamed patch is not my patch. Upstream is way=20 older, it's from a different author, etc. Plus it's included in=20 successive kernel releases, but it's not in the version affected by my=20 patch. From my point of view my patch is an OE-only hack because it=20 back-ports to an older kernel version a different patch which originated=20 from OE (?) a long time ago and then went mainline. I'll of course change this to your suggestion if this is a problem. I=20 did not do this yet so my patch won't get confused with the original one=20 that went mainline.
