Greg,

As noted in this commit log, commit c4dc304677e8d566572c4738d95c48be150c6606,
'tty: Fix pty master poll() after slave closes v2', is not required
after commit 52bce7f8d4fc633c9a9d0646eef58ba6ae9a3b73,
'pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close'

However, 'tty: Fix pty master poll() after slave closes v2' is appropriate
for stable back to v3.12.

Regards,
Peter Hurley
