Right, it would keep -stable "bug compatible" too.

Maybe its ok to ask to cherry-pick it as is for
6.14 and 6.12.

6.13 is EOL already, 6.12 is longterm.

This would leave 6.6 and 6.1 longterm out but from lack
of bug reports so far I would not say its a prominent bug.

The upstream patch cherry-picks for all except 6.1.y, but
AFAICS its just a simple context conflict.

Earlier longterm kernels aren't affected.
