If you are trying to get one of my automated "WTF: patch XXXX was
seriously submitted to be applied to the stable tree?" emails, you are
on track for it...
Please go read the documentation link I sent you last time and figure
out how you can justify any of this patch series for a stable kernel
tree.

Why isn't that function printing an error?

Same here, have the function itself print the error, makes this type of
stuff much cleaner.
