Sorry for the late reply.

I ran checkpatch.pl on the patch and got the following warning:

WARNING: The commit message has 'stable@', perhaps it also needs a 'Fixes:' tag?

Could you please send a v2 that drops the Cc: stable tag and uses:
Signed-off-by: Devin Wittmayer <lucid_duck at justthetip.ca>

to keep it consistent with the other patches you sent?

Thanks.
