The filename of the patch is: gpiolib-of-add-polarity-quirk-for-tsc2005.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.
Sasha, you are picking up a fix for an issue that was there for 7 years (since 2017), that nobody reported, for a device that there probably 1 or 2 users in the world attempt to boot on mainline kernel. For this you are forklifting bunch of other changes as dependencies.
I questioned myself when I was sending this change to mainline if it was even worth it, and I am very sure the risks far outweigh the benefits(?) of having this in stable.
The same goes for other cherry-picks to other stable branches.
Thanks.
