Hi! Here is my third regression report for Linux 4.9. It lists 17 regressions I'm aware of. 6 of them are new; 3 got fixed since last weeks report (a fourth looks fixed as well). The console problem ("console: don't prefer first registered [...]") got reported to me multiple times, but the revert to finally get this fixed is in -mm already.
As always: Are you aware of any other regressions? Then please let me know (simply CC regressi...@leemhuis.info). And please tell me if there is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.
