Hmmm. Maybe this is a form of miscommunication here :)
So my understanding is that you complain/ask why there is an older
version of the patch still in v4.9-RT:

So I ask where you see the old version of your patch in v4.9-RT. Yes it
was added, then removed and it never appeared back in. However, I don't
see anymore in v4.9.68-rt60.
