Yes, the change is fine, please add my

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Note two details:

- Please avoid top-posting in emails as you did here

- In your patch submission the sender is listed as "Max" without
  a last name, while your Signed-off-by line contains your full
  name. As the sender gets used as the author tag, please
  resubmit the patch with your full name as sender or add a
  separate "From: " line at the beginning of the mail.
  Git format-patch/send-email gets this right as long as your
  git configuration has your full name.

2017-01-03 14:26 ` [PATCH] Without a bool string present, using "# CONFIG_DEVPORT is not set" in defconfig files would not actually unset devport. This esnured that /dev/port was always on, but there are reasons a user may wish to disable it (smaller kernel, attack surface reduction) if it's not being used.
