FWIW, that patch was also in v4.10.

What are you asking for? An official backport to the 4.1.x stable
series? I'm not super interested in trying to do that. And IIUC, your
patch is a no-go, as it will break the SDIO and USB driver builds.

If you do try to go forward with this, do try to note any follow-up
patches. I don't recall how many other related bugs there might have
been. I tried to mark things correctly with Fixes tags, but I may have
missed something, especially if such bugfixes also made it into 4.10.
