This patch is a no-op. There is a tested fix pending on linux-input:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/31873

I didn't know this patch was sent to stable so I didn't follow it,
sorry. I guess we can drop this patch and once the fix gets upstream
and it's stable-material we can pick up both?

Regards
David
