[ Upstream commit a3ce2a21bb8969ae27917281244fa91bf5f286d7 ]


That commit was reverted by 8ae72cbf62d2c1879456c0c5872f958e18f53711 and
then replaced by 2d819d250a1393a3e725715425ab70a0e0772a71


BTW, the AUTOSEL algorithm should be updated to look for reverts and
even ones that have already been nack'ed from a backport perspective.

I felt a bit of deja vu with my response and sure enough this patch was
selected back in October and I responded then that it should not be
backported.

Sorry about this David. This series is a result of an experimental work
I did rather than the regular AUTOSEL workflow, so it ended up
accidentally bubbling a few commits that were previously rejected.
