Hi Christopher,

Generally when an issue is fully bisected, we've figured out a single patch that
either fixes and regresses a particular issue. Here I see you've searched for
all patches related to your driver. While some may be related, until we can test
them on a more fine grained level it may be difficult to know which fix the
issue.

We need to be careful about what gets put into the Ubuntu kernel because we
try to not add regressions. Documentation about the SRU processes is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates

For inclusion in upstream stable the document is here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

I see you are unable to test with Vivid, it would be best if we could fix the
issue there first so working on those issues would be most helpful.

Thanks,
