No, you are right, this is just me being overeager. It should be:

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # Needed in 6.17.y.

It would only be needed in 6.12.y if someone actually backports the
feature (which does rarely happen, so I guess someone could have found
it useful since there is no Fixes tag, but hopefully people would grep
the log in that case...).

Thanks!

Cheers,
