Note, you don't actually need to Ccstable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when sending the

You'll probably be getting the following letter from Greg KH any time now:-)

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

As far as I know, as long as he sees LKML or something else in Cc he
assumes it's an indication _for the maintainer_. Don't underestimate
the power of Greg's mailing list filters. :)
