Can you add a Fixes tag for stable kernels?
Fixes: 63b9907f58f1 ("staging: vt6656: mac80211 conversion: create rx function.")
Otherwise we don't backport it far enough and then it becomes an
actively exploited Android vulnerability and Google writes an article

because OpenBSD never has Android vulnerabilities etc...
