Hi Sasha,

The other reason we are wondering if 5.4 has backporting is we are not very comfortable about using the bleeding edge. Do you think 5.10 is stable currently? Thanks for your help again. :)

Hi Young,

See https://www.kernel.org/releases.html for a list of the LTS branches.

The 5.10 kernel is already designated as LTS and should be used by most stable tree users; this is the preferrable kernel to adopt right now.

The AMD hardware enablement stuff won't be backported on top of 5.4.
