Sure; I've already applied it to mmc-next for 3.6.

No, the stable team look for patches entering mainline with "Cc:
[email protected]" in the commit message, and apply them to
stable@ at that point.  That's the right time to apply them.

So, as I understand it, you did the right thing in having "Cc:
<[email protected]>" inside your commit message, and the
wrong thing in sending the mail to stable@ at the same time.
That's why I removed it from CC.

Thanks,

- Chris.
