Subject: Why hasn't the patch "r8152: Fix a deadlock by doubly PM resume" back
 ported to stable branches?

Hi all,

We found that below bug fix patch had not been back ported to stable 
branches, like linux-5.10.y. Is there any special reason?

     r8152: Fix a deadlock by doubly PM resume

     r8152 driver sets up the MAC address at reset-resume, while
     rtl8152_set_mac_address() has the temporary autopm get/put. This may
     lead to a deadlock as the PM lock has been already taken for the
     execution of the runtime PM callback.

     This patch adds the workaround to avoid the superfluous autpm when
     called from rtl8152_reset_resume().
