It's unclear to me whether we want this to be backported to stable kernels, can you clarify? Thanks, Arnd

It took me/us so much time to get an agreement on this patch I totally forgot about backporting it to stable. To be clear it indeed fixes a regression. Commit 937b12306ea79 ("ARM: BCM5301X: remove workaround imprecise abort fault handler") went into 4.5, so this one could be backported to 4.5+. As this has been already pulled, I think I'll wait for it to appear in Linus's tree and just e-mail stable guys manually (unless someone objects). Thanks for bringing my attention to this.
