v4.7-rc4, it may not apply due to the surrounding lines being changed in
the other patches which may not be applied to your tree. It is a single
line change per patch so hopefully the merge conflict resolutions will
be trivial.

A better solution could have been getting an ack from each maintainer
and having someone pull the whole series into one tree, but parts have
already been picked so it may be a little late for that.
