Bug Description
SRU Justification
Impact:
The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
a minimally backported form of that patch. The 4.4.98 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches from the 4.4.98 stable release shall be applied:
* adv7604: Initialize drive strength to default when using DT
* video: fbdev: pmag-ba-fb: Remove bad `__init' annotation
* PCI: mvebu: Handle changes to the bridge windows while enabled
* xen/netback: set default upper limit of tx/rx queues to 8
* drm: drm_minor_
* KVM: PPC: Book 3S: XICS: correct the real mode ICP rejecting counter
* iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Clear prior settings when updating STEs
* powerpc/corenet: explicitly disable the SDHC controller on kmcoge4
* ARM: omap2plus_
* crypto: vmx - disable preemption to enable vsx in aes_ctr.c
* iio: trigger: free trigger resource correctly
* phy: increase size of MII_BUS_ID_SIZE and bus_id
* serial: sh-sci: Fix register offsets for the IRDA serial port
* usb: hcd: initialize hcd->flags to 0 when rm hcd
* netfilter: nft_meta: deal with PACKET_LOOPBACK in netdev family
* IPsec: do not ignore crypto err in ah4 input
* Input: mpr121 - handle multiple bits change of status register

Patch "crypto: vmx - disable preemption to enable vsx in aes_ctr.c" failed to apply due to some conflicting backports for bug #1613295 "AES-XTS poor performance in Ubuntu 16.04". Manually applied.
Patch "net: dsa: select NET_SWITCHDEV" introduces the need to explicitly set CONFIG_NET_DSA(=n).
