Well, you were the one who (in email message with Message-ID: 
<20120209175217.GA13959 at kroah.com>) said that it no longer applied and 
asked for a resubmit against linux-next:

  "This patch no longer applies, care to redo it against the latest
  linux-next tree?"

So I just did what you asked :-)

Whether or not you have already applied it somewhere else I have no 
idea...
