Darren, 

I think that Anuj may not present the case clear enough. 

Let me explain on his behalf so we understand what is the gap here.
The event happened in this sequence:

1) Zlib-qat has been merged into dizzy here 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/commit/?h=dizzy&id=3ee02a36e0d1126fda0c6ea6a1bef4db08b8be7a
 
    This commit has a defect in the kernel module compilation ${CC}.

2) Then, when Anuj took over to enable zlib-qat for master and fido for River 
Forest platform, he cherry-pick the dizzy version
    and add in some fixed as recorded in the commit below. 
    
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/commit/?id=9511d5564160384b4e9f8a88f59d6f90f6ca0e0e
 

So, it is only possible to do git cherry-pick -x from master back to dizzy if 
we first do git revert commit "3ee02a36".

Darren, which do you prefer?
1) Git revert than git cherry-pick from master 
2) send an incremental git commit to fix this ${CC} issue

I must admit that we should have focus on master from start but implementation 
has slipped due to turn-over.

We are looking at having this patch accepted by tomorrow so that we can 
generate BSP release this Friday for
Crystal Forest and Highland Forest for dizzy branch.
