Runtime power management depends on the patch but when distros such as Ubuntu are installed on a Intel Gemini Lake NUC as an example, wifi/bluetooth depends on Intel Wireless-AC 9462 which in turn depends on v4.15 as a minimum so my logic was to add the patch to 4.15 and later. > Rodrigo, Anusha, if you think Cc: stable is appropriate, please indicate > the specific versions of stable it is appropriate for. > Thanks you..
