It can be applied without any changes and fixes the problem, but since I
have not a lot of knowledge about this subsystem, I don't know if this
breaks anything or if it requires other patches to be applied first, to
not break anything..
Maybe the authors of the patch can check this easily or maybe know it.
That's why I added them to the initial mail.

Why does an LTS version of 4.14 exist? Because the customer demands it :)
If the failing test was not one of the kernel selftest, I wouldn't
bother you with this...
