Sorry, I'm not familiar with procedure for stable tree patches or
who decides what's being picked.
Looks like this situation is "Option 3" from [1], rigth?
After reading that page I'm not sure:
- can I bundle all the necessary commits as a patch-set?
- a few commits need merging, others could be cherry-picked,
  is it possible to submit all of them with [ Upstream commit ... ] marks?

Also, as I wrote above, there are two possible solutions:
- backport above mentioned patches
- adjust the test log
