This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

The filename of the patch is: input-ps2-gpio-use-irqf_no_autoen-flag-in-request_ir.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
For the love of God, why? Why does this pure cleanup type of change needs to be in stable?
Because someone said:
commit 2d007ddec282076923c4d84d6b12858b9f44594a Author: Jinjie Ruan ruanjinjie@huawei.com Date: Thu Sep 12 11:30:13 2024 +0800
Input: ps2-gpio - use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()[ Upstream commit dcd18a3fb1228409dfc24373c5c6868a655810b0 ] disable_irq() after request_irq() still has a time gap in which interrupts can come. request_irq() with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag will disable IRQ auto-enable when request IRQ.
Looks like a bug fix, and also:
Fixes: 9ee0a0558819 ("Input: PS/2 gpio bit banging driver for serio bus")
Someone marked it as such.
I'll go drop it, but really, don't mark things as fixes if they really are not.
thanks,
