Hello Ilpo,

In a similar patch[^1], Jonathan made a good point that a Fixes tag may
not be appropriate for this patch when it only affects debug information
as Joshua pointed out[^2].

So I am going to treat this as an update patch to intel-qep rather than
a bug fix and remove the Fixes tag and stable@vger.kernel.org CC line
from the description. If you feel that this patch really should be
picked up by the stable trees, please let us know and we can discuss
further.

Thank you,

William Breathitt Gray
