This patch only renamed files under drivers/ide. I do not think it is
the patch that introduced the problem you are trying to fix.

Adding a CC to the distribution list of the patch does not change the
patch itself, so no need for tagging "v2".

Again, this file does NOT exist anymore.
The legacy IDE driver was removed from the kernel with version 5.14 by
commit b7fb14d3ac63 ("ide: remove the legacy ide driver"). libata now
implements drivers for legacy PATA/IDE drives. Have you checked first if
your fix is needed there ? If it is, then please send your patch against
the current libata tree. If the fix is needed only in older LTS kernels,
then please make that clear in a cover letter with your patch.
