   * dcb713d53e2e ("usb: hso: remove the bailout parameter") is a follow up

Noticing you sent this patch series for 4.14, 4.19 and 5.4 but am I
right that the last commit dcb713d53e2e ("usb: hso: remove the bailout
parameter") as cleanup commit should ideally as well be applied to
5.10.y and 5.14.y?

Whilst it's probably not strictly needed it would otherwise leave the
upper 5.10.y and 5.14.y inconsistent with those where these series are
applied.

You're right, I have sent the cleanup patch for 5.10/5.14 integration as well:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20210929075940.1961832-1-ovidiu.panait@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

Why do we need that cleanup commit in <=5.4 to begin with? Does it
actually fix anything?
