Because I see the branch name is stable. A rule for stable tree is patch should
go into mainline kernel firstly, then go into stable. This patch is in md
development tree, I guess it will still take some time for it going into 4.12
stable tree. So is it Okey for me to submit this patch into stable branch of
openSUSE kernel ?

Got it, thanks.
