Hi,
I think this patch is not applicable for 5.15 and 5.10.
Then why are you trying to apply it there? Do you have the bug that is being reported here on those kernel versions? If not, why is this an issue? If so, find the files that are affected in those releases and apply the change there.
Could you give me any opinions?
It is your responsibility, if you want to backport changes to older versions, to do the work. It is NOT the original developer's responsibility at all. The first rule of the stable kernels is "this will cause NO extra work for kernel developers" so if they don't want to do this, they do not have to at all.
Any helps from maintainers are very appreciated.
But not required or even expected. Please work with your management to understand exactly how the community works here.
thanks,
