The patch originally was intended to fix the following issue:

export MDADM_EXPERIMENTAL=1
mdadm -C /dev/md/imsm0 -amd -e imsm -n 2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb -R
mdadm -C /dev/md/raid1-0 -amd -l1  --size 5G -n 2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb -R 
mdadm --wait /dev/md/raid1-0 
mdadm /dev/md/imsm0 --add /dev/sdc
mdadm /dev/md/imsm0 --add /dev/sdd
mdadm -G /dev/md/raid1-0 -l0 
mdadm -G /dev/md/imsm0 -n 4 
sleep 5
mdadm -Ss
mdadm -I /dev/sda
mdadm -I /dev/sdb
# At this moment mdadm tries to start array and continue reshape,
# however there is insufficient number of disks, so it fails
# (not enough operational devices - failed to run raid set)
# - see syslog below.
mdadm -I /dev/sdc
# array is not started and reshape does not continue
mdadm -I /dev/sdd
# array is not started and reshape does not continue
