you have all 3 reverts already in wireless-next as part of a larger RFCOMM change from Peter that we had to do to get this bug fixed. The whole series ended up as 24 patches and was way to late in the -rc stage. In addition we did not have enough exposure from people running that patch set. I did not wanted to end up in a ping-pong situation with apply + revert over and over again until we gave this some test exposure. I think it is pretty safe to revert these 3 patches from 3.14-rc6 since they broke more than they actually fixed. However everybody has to be aware of that the real fix only comes in 3.15 since the change unfortunately is large. As far as we can tell, only users of RFCOMM TTY are affected. All RFCOMM socket users are fine. So I do not know what the best way of getting these reverts merged. Gustavo has a tree ready for you to pull from. Or would it be better if they get cherry picked from wireless-next tree.
