hey Seth,
  I don't directly know, as I don't have the hw in question. I'm just
going on the basis of the upstream discussion:
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/25/1096
I also don't know if that hw even works w/ Ubuntu - but it seems like
other platforms could be impacted as well.

Background is, anytime I backport subsystem changes like this to an
Ubuntu kernel, I try to watch upstream for "Fixes:" commits that
reference them, as those "Fixes" won't come in naturally from stable
(the fixed commits aren't in a released kernel yet). My logic here is
that these fixes look like the type of changes we would normally pull
in from stable, and therefore would normally be candidates for Ubuntu.
