Why do you refer to activeness of v5.19? This will go also to v6.0 and v6.1.

I grepped and that commit did not have such compatible. Are you saying
that the kernel which was released with this commit already had that
compatible in driver (through different merge/tree)?

Sorry, no clue what do you want to say here... if you are unhappy with
AUTOSEL, I am not the one to receive such feedback. Anyway, regardless
of AUTOSEL, my concern was that the release containing that commit was
not ready to work with that compatible. Isn't this the case here?

Whether v5.19 is active or not, it does not matter. Why would it matter?
This will go longterm v6.1 as well!

Any manual backporting of something which is not a fix for older kernel
is already risky business and whoever is doing it, he is responsible for
the outcome.
