Please see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.11/process/stable-kernel-rules.html.

If Option 2 can't work (because of conflicts), please follow Option 3
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.11/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#option-3).

Just explain the background and link to this thread in a cover letter
and mention it's your first time. Greg didn't bite me when I fumbled my
way around it :)

(greg, please correct me if I'm talking rubbish)

thanks,
sam
