My understanding is that small fixes, new device IDs, and quirks
are some of the things appropriate to submit to stable. I think
everything here tagged for stable is in one of those categories.

This patch is the minimal change required just to get the driver
loaded and running with this new hardware. I would put it in the
same category of change as a new device ID. We just have a new
version ID that needs to be checked against so that the probe
doesn't fail.

We don't plan to do any more than this for older kernels, for
example to add support for USB 3.1 and gen 2 speed.

I'm good with that.

I don't know the technical reasons why. One platform is ARM based
and using the 3.18 Linaro stable kernel. Another uses our ARC
platform which is also on 3.18.

We're trying to avoid the situation where where we have to ship
patches or maintain a separate kernel tree.

Do you have any objections to these going into stable?
