v4.2 is a dead kernel. Nobody cares about that.

The not so dead LTS kernels should have the UBIFS fixes backported because
this problem can happen independent of the Micron specific issue. If the
LTS kernels lack those backports, then they need to be done independent of
this anyway.

In general patches against the head of development are the proper way to
go. Backporting is a different problem and handled after the fixes have
been established.

Thanks,
