I'd suggest to avoid any special treatment, that is, ignore this incident
(erroneous patch committed), and now simply go the usual route: prepare a
new patch (that reverts the unjustified changes), and post it together
with some rationale as per the usual qualification rules (which shouldn't
be difficult as you have already identified what is wrong; for easier
review be sure to highlight which parts simply restore the state from
before the erroneous patch).
