AFAICT this is supposed to be stable kernel submission. In such case, I'd expect [PATCH 4.14, 4.19, 5.10] in the subject line, and original sign-off block from the mainline patch.
OK. Maybe [1] needs updating.
The documentation says (in this case the third option applies):
Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to> stable@vger.kernel.org. You must note the upstream commit ID in the changelog of your submission, as well as the kernel version you wish it to be applied to.
It doesn't specify how to mark desired target branch, unfortunately.
And that's fine, the submitter did the right thing here and gave me all of the information that I need. Please do not confuse people, there is nothing wrong with the submission as-is.
thanks,
