Please do so! Not only will you help others by fixing the problem in all Linux
distributions but your patch will also be scrutinized by someone knowing the code
very well and you'll get feedback on how to improve it.
Also, you don't have to carry those patches around forever.

I recommend following this guide if you haven't upstreamed a patch before:
