I could build and test the patched kernel, and I confirm that the
new patch at

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757356#75

solves the issue for me.

Since Daniel Lin (Cc'ed for any comment) is the author of the
original patch, I suppose that the patch should have:

Co-developed-by: Daniel Lin <ephemient@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Daniel Lin <ephemient@gmail.com>
Co-developed-by: Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>
Signed-off-by: Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>

as described at
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

if this is OK for him.
