You can, just let me know what exact files should be ignored, or you can
send a patch against this file:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/ignore_list
I think we should add at least i915 and xe there. cc: maintainers
It does feel a little wild to decide a patch needs to be backported
based on the commit title starting with "Fix", or whatever way was used
here. We always relied on patches being backported based on a) having a
Fixes: trailer and b) the commit pointed out in that trailer
being present in that stable version. Or the others options shown
in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
Looking at the commit in question, c6fbb6bca10838485b820e8a26c23996f77ce580
there's no such a trailer. Did I miss something from
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst?

But I can't really make that kind of decision for the whole
drm subsystem (even though I'd like to), so I was hoping to
have a name/email based blacklit to make sure nothing I
wrote gets automagically backported. But I guess that's
not a thing.
