And my turn to say "no worries".  ;-)

I reworked the commit log to tell the full story as shown below.
Anything I misstated or otherwise missed?

commit ff278071dce9af9da2b5e2b33f682710a855d266

    bcm47xx: fix build regression
    
    Commit 0bc2d534708b ("rcu: Refactor #includes from include/linux/rcupdate.h")
    caused a build regression in an MTD partition driver:
    
    In file included from drivers/mtd/bcm47xxpart.c:12:0:
    include/linux/bcm47xx_nvram.h: In function 'bcm47xx_nvram_init_from_mem':
    include/linux/bcm47xx_nvram.h:27:10: error: 'ENOTSUPP' undeclared (first use in this function)
    
    The rcupdate.h file has no particular need for linux/errno.h, so this
    commit includes linux/errno.h into bcm47xx_nvram.h.
