I've sent a patch now. From what I found, none of the stable kernels
need the fix. You had applied the patch I sent some time ago on the
android-4.9 kernel. The same patch fixes the problem for me on the
android-4.4 kernel and applies cleanly, just not on the stable-4.4 kernel
that doesn't need it in the first place.
