Hi Lorenzo,

You addressed the patch 'To: arm@kernel.org', but I'm not entirely
sure what to do with it, it would be nice to be a little more explicit whether
you want us to apply the patch directly or just review it, and which trees
you want it to get merged into.

As you are fixing a regression against v4.10, I would assume you want
it merged into v4.14 with a 'cc: stable' tag to have it backported into v4.13,
correct?

Arnd
