Create a patch with a changelog saying that it fixes a bug, put the hash and subject of the commit that introduced the bug in that changelog and send it to linux-pm@vger.kernel.org with a CC to me (preferably at rjw@rjwysocki.net, but you can also use rafael@kernel.org if you like). I will take care of the patch from that point on. Rafael
