NOTE: This patch is tested against 5.4 stable
NOTE: This is a patch for the 5.4 stable branch, not for the torvalds tree.
The torvalds tree, and stable tree 5.10, 5.15, 6.1 and 6.4 branches were fixed in the separate commit ID 4acfe3dfde68 ("test_firmware: prevent race conditions by a correct implementation of locking") which was incompatible with 5.4
The above part is not part of the original commit, you also forgot to mention the upstream commit:
[ Upstream commit 4acfe3dfde685a5a9eaec5555351918e2d7266a1 ]

Here you can add the above note in brackets:
[ explain your changes here from the original commit ]
Then, I see two commits upstream on Linus tree which are also fixes but not merged on v5.4, did you want those applied too?
