Now I see that this patch is in linus tree. Can you sent it to 
stable trees too?

Hi Pali,

Please see Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for details on how to mark
patches for stable when you submit them. Now that it is in mainline, the process
is a bit more manual, you'll find instructions for how to go about that in the
same document.

Thanks,
