This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
watchdog: s3c2410_wdt: add support for exynosautov920 SoCto the 6.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: watchdog-s3c2410_wdt-add-support-for-exynosautov920-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 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.
This is a new device support, depending on several other pieces like syscon support, Exynos PMU and of course arm64/boot/dts patches. It really relies on the rest of SoC support and alone is useless.
This is way beyond simple quirks thus I believe it does not meet stable criteria at all.
Based on that I recommend to drop this patch from stable backports.
