This patch (and the subsequent one), just set a flag in the device tree.

They have no effect unless you also backport the code change that looks
for that flag, which was upstream commit:

  8f0cdec8b5fd ("i2c: mpc: implement erratum A-004447 workaround")

AFAICS you haven't picked that one up for any of the stable trees.

I'll defer to Chris & Wolfram on whether it's a good idea to take the
code change for stable.

I guess it's harmless to pick these two patches, but it's also
pointless. So I think you either want to take all three, or drop these
two.

cheers
