Hi Rafael,

any chance you can take this fix via your tree?
I can resend patch if you want.
Looks like Jassi doesn't have time or doesn't care.

Ouch... sorry. Ashwin's reminder came after I had sent the pull
request. And then it just got overlooked. If Rafael doesn't pick it as
my punishment, I'll tomorow :)

I can apply it, but can anyone please point me to the original patch?

Or, maybe better, resend it with a CC to linux-acpi and all of the
tags collected so far?
