If you know you want a patch in the stable tree, add cc: stable. Because not all maintainers remember to do so, we do dig through all patches with just the fixes: tag, and try to backport them if needed, but it does not always happen, and there can be long lags as well. So again, if you know you want it in a stable kernel, add the cc: stable. thanks, greg k-h
