Hi Luka,

So I believe you wanted to get this patch merged in the scarthgap
branch, which raises two points:
- any change you want to contribute in a stable branch must have been
  first accepted in the master branch, except if it does not make sense
  to merge it in master.
- patches targeting a stable branch must include the branch name in the
  mail prefix.

More details can be found here:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#submitting-changes-to-stable-release-branches

So given the content of your patch, I believe this should be first
merged in master.

Also, backport in stable branches should be reserved to bug or security
fixes. I'm not involved in this decision, but I'm not fully convinced
this patch meets the requirements.

Thanks,
Mathieu
