Please include an indication where exactly the code is coming from,
as described in the Linux kernel's "SubmittingPatches" document:

|  Special note to back-porters: It seems to be a common and useful practise
|  to insert an indication of the origin of a patch at the top of the commit
|  message (just after the subject line) to facilitate tracking. For instance,
|  here's what we see in 2.6-stable :
|  
|      Date:   Tue May 13 19:10:30 2008 +0000
|  
|          SCSI: libiscsi regression in 2.6.25: fix nop timer handling
|  
|          commit 4cf1043593db6a337f10e006c23c69e5fc93e722 upstream
|  
|  And here's what appears in 2.4 :
|  
|      Date:   Tue May 13 22:12:27 2008 +0200
|  
|          wireless, airo: waitbusy() won't delay
|  
|          [backport of 2.6 commit b7acbdfbd1f277c1eb23f344f899cfa4cd0bf36a]
|  
|  Whatever the format, this information provides a valuable help to people
|  tracking your trees, and to people trying to trouble-shoot bugs in your
|  tree.

So please include at least the name of the file in the Linux tree and
the exact kenrel version used as a reference in the commit message.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
