I just tried to apply this patch on v5.15.19 and it applied
cleanly for me.

I don't understand. If you know that I'm doing something wrong,
can you let me know what it might be?
It fails to build :)
Oh! Well that's different! Sorry about that, I'll spend
a little more time on this I guess...
While I have your attention on this, there is another commit
that should be back-ported with this. It did not have the
"Fixes" tag, unfortunately.
Bjorn has committed it in the "arm64-for-5.18" branch in the
Qualcomm repository:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/qcom/linux.git
73419e4d2fd1b arm64: dts: qcom: add IPA qcom,qmp property
He says he has no plans to rebase this branch before it gets
pulled.
I can send a followup message when that commit lands in v5.18-rc1,
but it might be simplest to take care of it now.
According to the stable rules, I have to wait until it hits Linus's tree
before I can add it to a stable release.
OK understood. I'll work out with Bjorn what to do.
Thanks a lot.

So if this is a bugfix that everyone needs, it should go to Linus before
5.17-final is out.
thanks,
