Patches have to be in Linus's tree before they can be accepted into any stable kernel release, please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for the rules of all of this.
I was hoping rules could be bent a bit, since this is a single device ID, and the timing (both in the -rc cycle and with KPTI) makes it particularly awkward O:)
A single device id is not worth breaking the rules for, sorry.
You are going to be updating your kernel a bunch more times over the next months, due to all of this mess, this id will trickle in at sometime during all of that, don't worry...
