Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>

Sergey, would you mind to ack this patch as well?


From my point of view, the patch is ready to go into
linux-next. Well, I would prefer to keep it there one more
release cycle. There is no rush. The patch is primary for
0-day robot. We are very close to the next merge window
that will be problematic because of the holidays.

Petr
