Heh, fair enough.  This fix is now in the kernels that were released

(4.7.1, 4.6.7, 4.4.18, and 3.14.76), hope that helps.
It seems that Greg keeps on being bothered with questions ;-)
Here's one more: the relevant Upstream commit
75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758
is referenced in all change logs of yesterday's kernel releases...
... Except for: 4.7.1 (https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/
linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.7.1)
Did 4.7.1 miss the fix?

No, it was already in 4.7 when it was released:
        $ git describe --contains 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758
        v4.7~2^2~27

thanks,
