I think this one should be fixed int stable/linux-4.9.y now (or very soon):

Hmm, this was also fixed upstream and stable, but it appears didn't
auto-apply to stable 4.9 or 4.4, but is being discussed:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2018-December/004897.html

Also,just curious, I'm assuming you are comparing the android-4.x
builds to the stable-rc/linux-4.x equivalents?  That would probably
also tell you whether the android tree is missing a patch from stable
or not.

Ah, yes, I should have looked at the upstream branches. Glad to see
that fixes are on the way. Thanks.
