This particular patch is not required upstream because upstream has long
moved past 2.6.28(.2). If you need this included in TI's special compat
version you need to talk to them.

In any case, I cannot and will not apply patches to any tree that carry
a "confidential information" footer and/or don't have a sign-off.
