Thank you for your contribution. You already received positive feedback
on v1 of this patch: Tomasz acked it ("acked-by") and I reviewed it
("reviewed-by"). These are called "tags".

When you resubmit patches (unless there is a significant change in the
patch) please always put accumulated tags after existing tags. Usually
after signed-off-by, in this case after Cc-stable, so this would look like:

Signed-off-by: Andrew Jeffery <andrew@xxxxxxxx>
