I'm confused; this was explicitly cc'ed to stable@kernel.org, so why is your AUTOSEL picking this up? I would have thought this would get picked up via the normal stable kernel processes.
My mistake, appologies.
No worries; the intent was that it be backported to stable, and I don't really care with path it takes.
I just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be confusion if you backported it to stable, and then Greg tried and then got a merge conflict. (Or worse, if the patch was one of the ones where it can be successfully applied *twice* w/o a patch conflict; I'm not sure if git cherry-pick is smarter than patch in this regard, but I don't think it is?)
This one was just due to me running a bit faster then usual. I generally don't filter out stable tagged commits and Greg just gets to them faster than me (the delay on AUTOSEL is bigger than stable tagged commits).
