So you've CC'ed Ross, who sent the very same patch just yesterday, but
without the backport request.

Well it wasn't clear to me whether it should be the maintainer or the
patch submitter who should request the backport and
Documentation/SubmittingPatches is not clear about it. Regardless, the
build fix should be backported to 4.4.

You have applied this patch to the branch for-linus-4.8 but not
for-linus-4.7. Is it intentional?

Yes it is. for-linus-4.7 is based on an older version of the kernel that
doesn't have dfd74a1edfab. Linus discourages rebasing the pull request
branches. That said, the patch could still go to Linus earlies in one of
the RCs.
