The bigger patch seemed a little too verbose to have it backported
to stable kernels, so I asked for a minimal fix that could be marked
as stable, with the other changes applied on top for the current

I'm still on parental leave and not dealing with patches directly,
so whichever patch we want should get routed through Ulli to arm at kernel.org
