At best 6.10 with a merge window in May.

"Dumps the device debug migration buffer, state must first be saved
using the 'save' attribute."

AFAICT from the previous patch, this attribute is useless.

Seems like it statically returns "OK" plus the actual value.

These interfaces are confusing, attr and data only work if there has
either been a previous save OR the user migration process closed saving
or resuming fds in the interim, and the user doesn't know which one
they get.  Note that debug_migf isn't even discarded between
open/close, only cmd and save require the device to be opened by a
user, data and attr might continue to return data from some previous
user save, resume, or debugfs save.
