Sorry, first time sending a patch to stable. I'm cloning stable here to check if this patch applies smoothly on 4.8 and 4.1, and then resend it to stable. This patch was based in 4.9-rc3, so it can be queued to rc4, since it fixes a problem to all users of this model.

Thanks Daren and Greg for guiding me in the right path of stable :)
