**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis:
## Rationale for Backporting:
1. **Stable kernel rules explicitly allow device ID additions**: According to Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst line 15, patches must "either fix a real bug that bothers people or just add a device ID." This commit clearly falls into the "add a device ID" category.
2. **Simple, low-risk change**: The commit adds exactly one line: ```c {QMI_QUIRK_SET_DTR(0x1e0e, 0x9071, 3)}, /* SIMCom 8230C ++ */ ``` This is a minimal change that only affects users with this specific hardware (vendor ID 0x1e0e, product ID 0x9071).
3. **Enables hardware that would otherwise not work**: Without this device ID entry, users with the SIMCom 8230C modem cannot use their hardware with the qmi_wwan driver. This directly impacts functionality for those users.
4. **Follows established patterns**: The commit uses `QMI_QUIRK_SET_DTR` macro, consistent with the existing SIMCom entry at line 1428: ```c {QMI_QUIRK_SET_DTR(0x1e0e, 0x9001, 5)}, /* SIMCom 7100E, 7230E, 7600E ++ */ ``` This shows the vendor has a history of requiring the DTR quirk for their devices.
5. **Historical precedent supports backporting**: Of the 5 similar commits analyzed, 4 were backported to stable: - Fibocom FG132 (YES) - MeiG Smart SRM825L (YES) - Telit FN912 compositions (YES) - Telit FN920C04 compositions (YES) - Quectel RG255C (NO)
The 80% backport rate for similar device ID additions suggests this type of change is generally considered appropriate for stable.
6. **No risk to existing functionality**: The change only adds support for a new device ID (0x9071) and doesn't modify any existing device support or core driver functionality.
The commit meets all criteria for stable backporting: it's obviously correct, tested (as evidenced by the detailed USB descriptor output in the commit message), small (1 line), and enables hardware support that users need.
