Yes, it should, and I'm not sure if the original author's opinion matters here.

The patch makes sense to everyone involved and fixes an annoying issue, so
I don't see any real arguments against applying it.

Please feel free to add my ACK to it if that helps.

In any case, it has to go in before https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9873163/
does, is if it doesn't go into 4.13-rc after all, please let me know.
