[Linux-stable-mirror] Request for inclusion in stable of 4307413256ac1e09b8f53e8715af3df9e49beec3
Hi Greg, if possible I would like to ask for commit 4307413256ac1e09b8f53e8715af3df9e49beec3 (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/johan/usb-serial.git/commit/... — "USB: serial: cp210x: add IDs for LifeScan OneTouch Verio IQ") to be included in the next stable kernel(s).
It's a one line change that would save me a few headaches to not have to build my own kernel just to get the driver loaded for this device (for which I'm writing a tool) and will let users of the meter use the tool sooner rather than later in the future.
Thanks!

Patches have to be in Linus's tree before they can be accepted into any stable kernel release, please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for the rules of all of this.
thanks,

I was hoping rules could be bent a bit, since this is a single device ID, and the timing (both in the -rc cycle and with KPTI) makes it particularly awkward O:)
I'll take no for an answer, but I thought I would at least raise the comment.

A single device id is not worth breaking the rules for, sorry.
You are going to be updating your kernel a bunch more times over the next months, due to all of this mess, this id will trickle in at sometime during all of that, don't worry...
