This patch does not apply to l2-mtd.git, which is based on 3.7-rc1.

$:~/git/l2-mtd$ git apply --check ~/tmp/thomas.mbox

Could you please wrap commit message lines to 80 characters when you
re-send?

Also, would you please add Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org [vX.Y+], where
vX.Y is the starting version for which this patch is relevant, e.g.,
v3.0.

Thanks!
