Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly. Note, I can't do anything with patches until they are in Linus's tree. Please work to get them accepted there, then we can worry about backporting them to older kernels if they are needed. thanks, greg k-h
