Why does the patch here cause this error? Is it due to the backport being different than what went into Linus's tree, or something else?
The patch is the same.
I need to do some more testing, but I assume it *was* also broken in Mainline until the whole section was rewritten. Unfortunately, the patch which does that does not apply to v5.10.y. Again, I can look into this, but I'm not quite sure how far the rabbit hole goes.
The original commit did fix a real issue, what should we do now to resolve that issue in 5.10.y instead?
Ideally I'd like the original author and/or the domain experts to have a look and chime in here.
