WTF: patch "[PATCH] landlock: Add clang-format exceptions" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree?

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] landlock: Add clang-format exceptions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In preparation to a following commit, add clang-format on and
clang-format off stanzas around constant definitions.  This enables to
keep aligned values, which is much more readable than packed
definitions.
