Is this supposed to fix
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98742 ? If so, the Fixes:
line seems wrong because f79f26921ee1 isn't in 4.9 where I see the
issue.

If I want to fix 4.9---my ultimate goal is to fix the kernel that will
go into the next stable release---I have to cherry-pick f79f26921ee1
first, I assume?

Best regards
Uwe
