Sure I will do, I have never posted on backport branches. Let me check and post it.
Basically you take your original patch that was in mainline (as the subject and commit message), and make it work as if you were doing the same exact fix for the stable release.
Send it to me (and Cc everyone else), and I'll give it a test too.
Thanks for the guidance. Just sent and tested it for 5.4 kernel, please review it once.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
