Thx for CCing regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I added this report to the list
of regressions for Linux 4.9. I'll watch this thread for further updates
on this issue to document progress in my weekly reports. Please let me
know in case the discussion moves to a different place (bugzilla or
another mail thread for example). tia!

Ciao, Thorsten

Thorsten,

I would have CCd regressions with my previous postings if I had known the address. The only place I had seen reference to it was on LKML where the address is carefully obscured.

If I have not heard from the developers regarding this issue by Friday, I will be submitting a request for reversion of the patch in question.
