Ah, missed this as it was not obvious that this was a not-upstream
commit at all, sorry.
I'll dig it out of lore.kernel.org and queue it up for the next round of
releases, but note, this is our "busy time" with many patches marked for
stable.
Oh and 5.16 is long end-of-life, nothing anyone can do there, and no one
should be using that kernel version anymore, so no issues there.
