Merge patch from dev to 5.6 branch

[hamer]

Hi,
I have submitted and merged a patch to the Qt code dev branch. How can this patch be integrated into the current 5.6 branch?

Which patch is it?

If it is has merged into the dev branch, then it will eventually become part of the 5.7 branch.

You can subscribe to the Development mailing list to ask the Maintainers if they'll allow your patch to be cherry-picked to the 5.6 branch.

Ask Alex Blasche if you're allowed to re-submit for the 5.6 branch.
