Sure.  Could you also make it clear which kernel version(s) you are
expecting the patch to be applied to?  Is it everything 5.4 through
6.15?  It looks like this bug actually got exposed by f4da7afe07523f
("kexec_file: increase maximum file size to 4G") in 6.0.  But
backporting to older versions should be fine too, if it applies to them.
