If the patch is tagged for stable then it will automatically be
backported to the 5.10 stable release, or at least attempted. If you
don't see it in the stable tree but it's in Linus' tree then you can
submit the patch directly to stable. See
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst for more info.
