WTF: patch "[PATCH] ARC: export __udivdi3 for modules" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 4.7-stable tree?

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.7-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] ARC: export __udivdi3 for modules

Some module using div_u64() was failing to link because the libgcc 64-bit
divide assist routine was not being exported for modules
