Ah yes, if you have a stable branch that makes it hard.

Sometimes it helps to have two branches, one stable and one unstable,
both merged into a for-next branch that goes into Stephen's
linux-next. That way you can have a patch sit there a little while to
catch errors like these before you move them over to the stable base.

Either way, not a big deal unless we end up with a large number of
these kind of fixes, one or two here or there is fine.
