[EEH] Recursive fenced PHB during EEH recovery on Broadcom Shiner adapter

[bugproxy]

---Problem Description---
Recursive PHB error from EEH recovery on Shiner adapter

---uname output---
Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (3.19.0-30)

Machine Type = Firestone

---Steps to Reproduce---
 When injecting EEH error (frozen PE) to BCM57800 on ubuntu 14.04.3, the EEH error is recovered automatically. However I saw recursive fenced PHB error during the recovery, which isn't the expected behaviour. After checking the ubuntu's kernel source repository, I found one patch, which as merged to powerpc/next branch recently, is missed as below. This bug is opened to tracking the backporting. Please help to mirror to Canonical accordingly, thanks!

This bug was opened to track the backporting (as below) to ubuntu's distro. Please help mirrored to Cacinonical accordingly.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-vivid' to 'verification-done-vivid'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
