I created a revert of the problematic patch with some explanation.

Sorry that I didn't reference this discussion; I only noticed it after
I wrote the revert. The revert and my analysis is based on the impact
of this patch on affected Chromebooks.

The revert is queued for v4.19.y and later stable releases because
the patch discussed here made it into all those releases and breaks
pretty much all Mediatek based systems using the affected driver.
