The original CFI implementation exists in 5.15 and the problem described
in those patches should still trigger with that implementation just like
kCFI, so they should likely still go to 5.15. However, they were
AUTOSEL'd and we have not had any reports of problems that are solved
with these patches (although that is likely because nobody who is using
this hardware has tried running a CONFIG_CFI_CLANG kernel), so I do not
really care if they are applied or not.
