Has ed66f991bb19 ("module: Refactor section attr into bin attribute")
been backported to 4.19? It doesn't /sound/ like something that would
require backporting unless something else depended up on it, but if it
hasn't been ... then *this* patch shouldn't be either...
Same for 5.4, and 5.7 that's just come in.
This patch will 'apply' cleanly, and not hit any compilation errors, as
it only changes python code... so my reason to highlight is in case some
automated system picked it up based on those assumptions.
If ed66f991bb19 has also been backported, then I'm sorry for the noise ;-)
