I am not sure what you mean. The commit contains:
Fixes: d8f388d8dc8d ("gpio: sysfs interface")
Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v2.6.27: 01cca93a9491

d8f388d8dc8d is in 2.6.27
01cca93a9491 is in 3.19

Since it is fixing something in 2.6.27, I should take it to 3.12, or am
I missing something?

thanks,
