Hi,
I'm not sure that this one makes a real sense for backport.
It can't hurt, but it does not fix a real issue, it just voids a potential
spurious message.
In my original mail, there is no "stable@" or "fix" or "bug" keywords or
"Fixes:" tag.
There is also apparently no patch in this backport serie that relies on this
patch.
Why has it been selected?
That is essentially how AUTOSEL works. It picks patches based on keywords.
I am sure Sasha can provide details.
Likely because of how many issues existed in this area (deferred
probing), that it got selected automatically. I'll go drop it.
