I don't think so.

Both patches are about respecting the configuration requested by an EPF
driver.

So if an EPF driver requests a 64-bit BAR, the EPC driver should configure
that. (Regardless of the size that the EPF driver requests for the BAR.)

If we really want a Fixes-tag, I would imagine that it will be the respective
initial commits that added these drivers (pcie-cadence-ep.c and
pcie-rockchip-ep.c), as it has been this way since then.

If you look at the EPF drivers we currently have, they will currently only
request a 64-bit BAR if any of the BARs can only be configured as a 64-bit
BAR because of hardware limitiations.

$ git grep only_64bit

Neither of these two drivers have any such hardware limitiations,
so these commits are currently a bit pointless.

However, the drivers should of course do the right thing, because other
EPC drivers might look at them and copy their code.

And who knows, maybe sometime in the future there will be an EPF driver
that will explicitly request a 64-bit BAR, regardless of size.

TL;DR: I don't think these two commits are worth backporting.
