It is a serious bug, but it is not a regression. I.e whatever is fixed by this patch never worked. So if you take a conservative view on pushing patches to stable and only want to fix regressions, this one doesn't qualify. However, if you take a more open approach and say you want to fix obvious bugs/issues even in older stable kernels, then indeed this patch qualifies. If you are within the kernel developers with this more open approach to sending patches to stable, then you can add: Fixes: 8c39d710363c1 ("PCI: aardvark: Add Aardvark PCI host controller driver") Cc: when applying the patch. Unless of course you want me to resend the patch series with this added. Just let met know what you prefer. Thanks!
