Thank you.

I noticed that the patch was tagged "for-3.9". Does this mean
that it is too late to get it merged during the current release
cycle?

If possible, I would like to get it backported to 3.7-stable (and
possibly 3.2 stable), since without it a whole family of Sony
desktop computers is unusable under Linux out of the box.
Should I do it myself or do you have a process in place for HID
stable patches?

Regards,
Fernando
