Okay, if you say so.
Will be removing it.

Hi Hannes,

You have submitted this patch in past as it was part of SLES kernel but
missing in upstream and it was concluded to drop this patch then.
This issue was fixed in firmware 4 years back and many firmware versions
should be available with the fix so this fix is not required in
driver(upstream
as well SLES kernel). Do you see any functional issue without this patch ?
If not, I would request  to back out this patch from SLES kernel also.

Thanks,
Sumit
