Hello,
Yes, of course I object to it. I ignored this version of the patch being applied to the older Linux versions, but for the latest versions surely the version that I have authored should be applied instead. I have sent to Andrew Morton both the 4.20-rc1 and 4.19.2 versions of the patch. The 4.20 was applied (as "linux-next", I don't know why it is not in 4.20-rc4 yet), but 4.19.2 version was not applied yet, so here it is attached again (with the proper changelog etc). It applies to 4.19.5 cleanly as well, so please use this version (attached).
I can not apply a patch to the stable trees that are not in Linus's tree first. So there's nothing I can do here with this.
Until then, I'll take the patch that is already in Linus's tree, which is what I did here, thanks.
