Well it did:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/scsi?h=linux-3.15.y&id=04423ddea30a7fb7232636eda8aed55ea5b972fe

The stable process is a bit broken from my point of view since it
doesn't copy linux-scsi on SCSI commits ... but this time even I didn't
get a cc, so really no-one who knew there was a problem had a chance to
comment.

The choice is either request revert from stable or add fix.
