Hi Greg,

There are actually two commits that introduce problematic uport flags
clearing in uart_startup (for the sake of simplicity I'd ignore the
older history):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.2&id=c7d7abff40c27f82fe78b1091ab3fad69b2546f9
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.2&id=027b57170bf8bb6999a28e4a5f3d78bf1db0f90c
It's 10 years between those 2 and to me it was hard to decide about
picking a proper one for the `Fixes:` tag.
How would you recommend to proceed wrt applying this patch on the
stable releases?

Best regards,
Lukasz
