Is it in Linus's tree?

It's on linux-next tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_console.c?id=e2bd1dcbe1aa34ff5570b3427c530e4332ecf0fe

As per the rules documented at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
a patch has to be in Linus's tree before it can be included in a stable
kernel.
Please work with the tty developer to get this into Linus's tree if you
feel it should be needed there. As it is, it is only scheduled to be
sent to him for 5.8-rc1 as your patch description did not make it seem
very urgent or relevant for 5.7-final.
thanks,
greg k-h
