[Manoj Iyer]

Please consider the following patches that fix the bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/1732990. The patches were cleanly cherry picked from linus tree and a test kernel is available in the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~centriq-team/+archive/ubuntu/lp1732990. 

The kernel was tested by engineers at Qualcomm on a QDF2400 platform and the results are posted to the bug. 

Thanks
