Hi Joe-

Thanks for reporting this.  The "comment #172" patch looks harmless and
beneficial, but before we could consider it for the Ubuntu kernel(s),
that patch will need to be properly "published" by the author -- it
needs a From: author, title, description, and author's Signed-off-by
line.  I've posted a note to the bugzilla.kernel.org bug asking the
author to provide that.
