Stable trees can only take fixes which have been applied to the mainline. This is in mainline since v5.9.

I cannot see it in 5.9-stable: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/log/drivers...

$ git describe --contains fa4d30556883f2eaab425b88ba9904865a4d00f3 v5.9~5^2~5

But, you are right, the change really isn't in there as it got reverted:

~/linux/stable/linux-5.9.y (linux-5.9.y)$ git log --oneline | grep I2SR_ 5a02e7c429cb Revert "i2c: imx: Fix reset of I2SR_IAL flag" fa4d30556883 i2c: imx: Fix reset of I2SR_IAL flag

So I should drop it from all of these trees as well.

thanks,
