If linux,sml-log is available use it to get the TPM log rather than the

have been corrupted. Also, linux,sml-log has replaced linux,sml-base and
linux,sml-size on these two platforms.

So shouldn't this have a fixed tag, or not?
In English: do we want this to be backported to stable kernel releases or not?
Ideally, yes. v3 will have 3 patches and all 3 of them will have to be
backported *together* and not applied otherwise if any one of them
fails. Can this be 'guaranteed'?
You can use Depends-on: <previous commit SHA> to indicate the relationship.
cheers
Thanks, I've missed depends-on tag.
Stefan, please add also "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" just to make sure
that I don't forget to add it.
Right, and since these are so small scoped commits, and bug fixes in
particular, it is also possible to do PR during the release cycle.
