[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

commit 08acbdd6fd736b90f8d725da5a0de4de2dd6de62 upstream.

This reverts commit 353748a359f1821ee934afc579cf04572406b420.
It bypassed the linux-mtd review process and fixes the issue not as it
should.
