Yeah, the RPi people are annoying, they constantly rebase their
branches so there's no way to have a stable commit. Yann posted an
issue to their github: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/915.
Maybe we need to look into what they propose, apparently they have some
stable branches.

I've nonetheless applied your commit, after tweaking the commit log.

(Hint: "does no more exist" isn't proper English as far as I know, you
should say "does not exist anymore" I believe. Though I'm not a native
English speaker, so I might be wrong.)
