Oops, sorry.

Because that patch depends on the following patches merged in v5.11-rc1 
while refactoring vdpa_sim:
   f37cbbc65178 vdpa_sim: make 'config' generic and usable for any device type
   cf1a3b35382c vdpa_sim: store parsed MAC address in a buffer
   a13b5918fdd0 vdpa_sim: add work_fn in vdpasim_dev_attr
   011c35bac5ef vdpa_sim: add supported_features field in vdpasim_dev_attr
   2f8f46188805 vdpa_sim: add device id field in vdpasim_dev_attr
   6c6e28fe4579 vdpa_sim: add struct vdpasim_dev_attr for device attributes
   36a9c3063025 vdpa_sim: rename vdpasim_config_ops variables
   423248d60d2b vdpa_sim: remove hard-coded virtq count

Maybe we can skip some of them, but IMHO should be less risky to apply 
only this change.

If you want I can try to figure out the minimum sub-set of patches 
needed for 65b709586e22 ("vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in 
vdpasim_dev_attr").

Thanks,
Stefano
