I've got the similar problem on Android, however,
Linux guys require you and other people to test your patch on pure Linux.
Since Linux is exactly a "PC" based OS, only common patches should be
commit to Linux code base.
Except the bug is quite common in 3 OS, in "Linux PC" and in "Android
Linux" or "Chromium OS".

I'm not sure about the difference between Chromium OS and Linux PC.
According to CVE report, it looks like the change is from  Chromium OS?
Dose Nvidia has a pure Linux software team can verify your patch on
your platform?
I think if you can prove the result is okay on Linux PC or on Chromium
OS will help.
