We have requirements specific to the 5.4.y, and these five flashes
have been adapted for the latest mainline tree.
Additionally, they have been patched on LTS 5.14.y, and we have
tested them on LTS 5.4.y.
Given these circumstances, we are hopeful for approval to backport
these five flash IDs on 5.4.y.
