We have been suggested to join this discussion so that we can have appropriate meta-information injected in this patch’s commit message to make sure that it gets backported to v5.10.y.

There are no active supported kernels other than the ones listed on
kernel.org, so 5.8 doesn't make much sense here, only 5.10 and 5.15 and
5.18 at the moment.
