I believe so. Especially that you have a Fixes: tag, it's easy to tell
if this patch should be backported to given stable tree.
This happens outside of the Intel, after the patch will be eventually
applied to net tree.
There is an option to CC stable directly, or even point out to what
kernels your patch should be backported to. But in easy cases, I like to
keep it "automatic", thanks to Sasha Levin and Greg KH.
Than OS Vendors will get it down from there.

for IWL patches: Intel VAL will test it out (will reach to you in case
of any issues), then Tony will bundle it together with other fixes to
send to net (process is the same for next-, with minor details)
so you could just wait for this fix to be backported to stable
