WTF: patch "[PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: force setup bus if active slots exist" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree?

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable_kernel_rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: force setup bus if active slots exist

It's necessary to setup bus if any slots are present.
- update clock after ctrl reset
- if the host has genpd node, we can guarantee the clock is
  available before starting request. Otherwies, the clock register
  is reset once power off the pd, and host can't output the active
  clock during communication.

Fixes: df9bcc2bc0a1 ("mmc: dw_mmc: add missing codes for runtime resume")
