Thanks Ralf! I've applied it, with a changelog and a
Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell line - see the commit below.

Note that I moved the definition slightly up, so that regardless
of the order merging the commits don't create a conflict in
linux-next. If that fine with you I'll push it out that way.

(Looking at the other MIPS problem as well.)

Thanks,

Ingo
