So we're not backporting those anymore? But everything else? :-P

And 5.15 has it already...

Frankly, with the amount of stuff going into stable, I see no problem with
backporting such patches. Especially if the people using stable kernels will
end up backporting it themselves and thus multiply work. I.e., Erwan's case.

Thx.
