You're right, and thanks for the careful review.

Yup :(

Dropped from the 7.1, 6.18, 6.12 and 6.6 queues, along with the full
prerequisite chain that came with it:

  - thunderbolt: Keep XDomain reference during the lifetime of a service
  - thunderbolt: Remove service debugfs entries during unregister
  - thunderbolt: Remove XDomain from the bus without holding tb->lock
  - thunderbolt: Handle lane bonding of Gen 4 XDomain links properly (6.6)
  - thunderbolt: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API (6.6)
  - thunderbolt: Update property.c function documentation (6.6)

The actual upstream commit applies cleanly to all four branches, so I'll
requeue it properly next cycle.
