We prefer receiving patches via upstream in order to reduce the
maintenance burden in the event of clashes. We typically make exceptions
for these type of simple patches if they've been accepted by a
maintainer. Let us know when that happens.

Be sure your patch has 'Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org' in the S-o-b chain.
