I don't know. I had included it in the range of kernel versions it
should be applied to in the original patch, and noted the minor conflict
for later kernel versions. You added it in 3.18 and 4.4, and I assumed
not 4.9 because of the conflict in applying the patch, so I sent this
version.

b1fa6d8acb50c8e9 ("staging: android: ion: Pull out ion ioctls to a
separate file") is the patch that causes the minor conflict in applying
the original patch.
4c23cbff073f3b9b ("staging: android: ion: Remove import interface") is
the patch that removes the affected code altogether in later kernels
versions.
