I can not take a git pull for stable patches, as my bot says:

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

</formletter>

Please just send them to us in patch form like all other stable
submissions.

Why?

What is "CIP"?

I have no context or understand this, sorry :(
