Have you emailed the maintainer to reverse the patch? If not I'll do so, or rather try each half of the patches - to see what caused the fail. Alas looking at the code, and its a bit too involved with the kernel, for me to understand why the change was made, or what new code was trying to achieve, and so how to change it to work.
Its a pity that this wasn't picked up earlier - I guess we on arch arm are amount the first people to try updates to the code. And so we don't pick up at rc level, but only later.
Anyway that it caused so many failures, we should be able to get a reverse in the code. Which means we on arch don't need to maintain a patch. But we'll be doing well to get reversion into 4.12,,,
