There needs to be a simple way to ensure the essential
prerequisite patches would be back ported also, if this
patch is back ported.  Could at least list their titles
here e.g.

The essential prerequisite patches for the fix are:
	i3c: master: Move rstdaa error suppression
	i3c: master: Move entdaa error suppression
	i3c: master: Move bus_init error suppression
