Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <j...@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <s...@chromium.org> --- This was found on LKML: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1508280192.6530.31.ca...@perches.com/T/ It likely wasn't applied because it did not show up in patchwork correctly, due to the patch being inline: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/842121/ In any case, it needed rebasing and updating to support 'u'.
