Fwd: Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: backport changes

[Florian Grandel <fgrandel@gmail.com>]

Hi!

Wanted to send a patch including version checking upstream to the 
bluetooth guys - but wasn't accepted, see below.

Now your README in the patches folder says that new patches are not 
usually acceptable on your side.

What would be the right approach to get the below define statements into 
the backports?

Regards,

Florian

such a patch is not acceptable upstream. This is something that the 
backports projects has to keep out-of-tree.
