Yes this should go into v4.4 as discussed, otherwise it will be a mess. For both, please feel free to add:
Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>
I suggest Vinod sets up an immutable branch against v4.4-rc1 with just these two patches. Then it can get merged into whichever branch needs it, I certainly will need it as most of my v4.5 branches are v4.4-rc1 or -rc2 based.
Then the immutable branch can be merged into v4.4 by Vinod or Arnd.
Regards,
Tony
