Linus Torvalds pulled this patch into kernel 4.6-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d59561479e6f9cccc1d5905db37f668e1cbfdac2

Flash-kernel is already patched.

So no upgrade problems will occur for Debian Stretch or Jessie backports
with a kernel 4.6 or later on a Wandboard Dual or Quad rev B1.
