An option could be to just do "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.7+"
instead of pointing to a commit with a Fixes tag.

If I understand correctly, this means that we are no longer going to
run the async devices upfront, right?

Depending on how devices get ordered in the dpm_noirq_list, it sounds
like the above could have a negative impact on the total resume time!?
Of course, if all devices would be async capable this wouldn't be a
problem...
