So you would like this backported. The patch Subject is then wrong and
indicate it is for net. Please see:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html

The second patch does not have a fixes tag, and i would say is just
ongoing development, not a fix. So please submit that one to net-next.

The code changes themselves look O.K. to me.
