The series had a whole bunch of non bug fixes in it and we were in
the final phases of 4.2, in which case I defer to applying patches
to net-next only unless I'm told otherwise.

It's up the the patch/series author to let me know that an important
regression fix is hidden in there, but they should have submitted
it seperately from the rest in that kind of situation anyways.

More than this patch is needed, the one before it (3/4) instantiates
the necessary property in the DT, for example.

I can queue up the whole series for -stable if you want.
