Hi,

Can following commit be included in stable kernel releases starting from v4.11?

This makes sure older kernels will not accidentally lose the BIOS settings.

I would like to, but it fails to apply to the 4.9, 4.4, or even 3.18 stable trees :(

Can you provide a working backport for the trees you think it is needed on?

thanks,
