Did you test this on any of these older kernels?  Please do so and
provide the backported kernels.  Also you can not skip a kernel version
(i.e. it needs to be in all stable kernels back to 5.4 if you want it
there.)

And note that 4.15 is not a supported kernel by us, please work with
Canonical if you want a patch applied to their random kernel tree.
