Well, you were the one who (in email message with Message-ID:
<20120209175217.GA13959@xxxxxxxxx>) said that it no longer applied and
asked for a resubmit against linux-next:

"This patch no longer applies, care to redo it against the latest
linux-next tree?"

So I just did what you asked :-)

Whether or not you have already applied it somewhere else I have no
idea...
