I don't see why that is relevant. The mention patch introduces a
backwards incompatibility for the device tree. The patches you
mention don't fix that and hence are unrelated to this patch.

Furthermore 4.19 is fine, so there is no need to include it in stable
and have a note to make sure also other patches are required etc.
