cac7e5054115 ("spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Avoid setup_accel logic for DMA transfers")
applies cleanly to 6.12 with no dependencies, so this is not a mechanical
question - it is whether it qualifies. It has no Fixes: tag and no stable tag,
and James reads it as a refactor.

Larisa, Mark, Vladimir - was this a fix? If so, a Fixes: tag would let me take
it here and on the older trees, where it applies just as cleanly.
