But this commit 5e867061 is not part of the next stable kernel v5.10.y and as per my understanding, we are not allowed to backport a commit which is not in the next stable kernel version. Thus I haven't included that commit/patch here. > > I am new to the process & learning the rules. Can you please let me know if any action is required from my side for this patchset here? You need to submit all of the needed fixes for anything you have backported as well. As you are introducing a "problem", that would not be good. But, as you say, this is not in the 5.10.y tree yet, so please submit a version for that as well, then there should not be any problem. thanks, greg k-h
