I would even kindly suggest a tag:
Fixes: a3d43c0d56f1 ("taprio: Add support adding an admin schedule")

since the patch is doing nothing but making the tc-taprio command
idempotent, aka running it 10 times in a row produces the same result.
Previously, it would have worked the first time but failed the rest of
9 times, which is catastrophic for any sort of scripted environments.
It should have behaved like this from the beginning.

The problem is that it conflicts trivially with 9c66d1564676 ("taprio:
Add support for hardware offloading"), which made its appearance in
5.4. It's up to you if you want to rebase this on top of 5.4 as well,
for the stable trees.

Huh, odd, I wonder what's wrong with <= these days. I do see it's
being used like that in 2 more places in the code, so let's opt for
consistency.
