>> you have all 3 reverts already in wireless-next as part of a larger RFCOMM change from Peter that we had to do to get this bug fixed. The whole series ended up as 24 patches and was way to late in the -rc stage. In addition we did not have enough exposure from people running that patch set. I did not wanted to end up in a ping-pong situation with apply + revert over and over again until we gave this some test exposure.

However everybody has to be aware of that the real fix only comes in 3.15 since the change unfortunately is large. As far as we can tell, only users of RFCOMM TTY are affected. All RFCOMM socket users are fine.

the whole set is now in net-next so it is really up to John or Dave if they either want to cherry pick these 3 reverts or if they want to pull from bluetooth.git tree.
