Hi Greg,
I'm in the middle of cherry-picking and testing a handful of lede https://lede-project.org stable patches as likely 4.9.y candidates. I have few questions before I send them your way following Sasha's email format.
1. If I use standard "git cherry-pick -x $commitID" to append original git commit IDs as "(cherry picked from commit $commitID)" line in the original commit message, will that work for you?
2. While verifying that these lede patches are indeed upstreamed alrready, I ran into few more similar upstream fixes which though are not part of lede distro but reasonable enough to go into stable-4.9. Should I send them as well? May be as part of different set and not as lede's patches?
Regards, Amit Pundir
