Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] wifi: mac80211: do not abuse fq.lock in
 ieee80211_do_stop()

Since this patch fixes a regression introduced in 5.19-rc7, can this patch go to 5.19-final ?

syzbot is failing to test linux.git for 12 days due to this regression.
syzbot will fail to bisect new bugs found in the upcoming merge window
if unable to test v5.19 due to this regression.
