Hi,

did you check [1] please? I might be wrong, but these are
the official -stable submission guidelines to my knowledge.

Please note that there are two commits just added to the mainline repo that 
should be propagated to all stable kernels. Both are addition of new USB IDs for 
an old driver, thus they will cause to side effects. Unfortunately, the Cc to 
stable was missed in the first of these, thus the need for this message. The 
second was Cc for stable, but I include it here for completeness.

The two commits in question are
