What behaviour is broken here for older kernels? What would not work that makes this patch worthy of consideration for stable? The commit log should be clear on that. In the future, it may be useful for you to wait at least 1 week or so before sending a new series becuase just a couple of days is not enough if you are getting feedback. So before sending a v10, please give it at least a few days or a week. Luis

Breaking a future change is not worth a stable backport, right? Doesn't this fix a real issue now? If so, please explain that. thanks, greg k-h

Can that code be built as a module? Same for the other changes...

Same for the other changes... Nope, I will remove the cc: stable and revert the commit messages back to just referencing the future change, but this time I will be more specific.

A one character difference in the name supplied to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE breaks a future patch set, so fix the typo.
