I assume you're looking to get this into stable kernels or distro
update kernels.  I don't personally deal with either of those, but for
stable kernels, see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst

For distro update kernels, you'd have to talk to the distro folks, and
I don't have contacts for those.
