Correct me if I'm wrong Dmitry, but while the commit message makes this
sound like a fix, it is not needed unless you backport follow-on patches
that enable UCSI on these platforms.

So this one can be dropped from all stable queues (unless you're
backporting patches that enable new features and that depend on this
one).
