I'll accept that argument for the first patch, but the three that are
adding support for audio devices on the platform cannot really be
described as making behaviour more stable. I don't hugely object to
these being backported, but I would like a more accurate justification
for it being done - even if that is just that "we are using this board
with 6.6 and would like audio to work, which these 3 simple patches
allow it to do".

I don't know. Does this first patch require a driver change for the
mmc driver to work correctly?

I'm not sure, I don't send patches using that method. Usually I output
my patches to a directory and call git send-email using the path to that
directory.

Cheers,
