From Salvatore Bonaccorso to stable on 22 Aug 2024 19:19:27 +0200

Subject: Please apply commit 31e97d7c9ae3 ("media: solo6x10: replace
max(a, min(b, c)) by clamp(b, a, c)") to 6.1.y
...
"Note I suspect it is required as well for 5.15.164 (as the commits
were backported there as well and 31e97d7c9ae3 now missing there)"
