There's plenty of other bugs lurking, no real rush to fix something that is
already
queued for -stable .. that's the best place to pick up a fix.

Actually, sending a patch is even better. If you've seen the problem, tested
a fix, you are by far in the best position to send a patch to fix the issue.

Just fire something to the linux-yocto list with the information you've
added
above, and it'll go into the queue .. most likely before I get to the
4.1.29 stable :)

Cheers,

Bruce
