Can you please provide patch series of these upstream commits backported
to the relevant branchs that you wish to see them in?  You have 2
patches in this series without git commit ids, and I have no idea where
to apply them, or not apply them...

Or better yet, just use the latest version of perf as was pointed out,
on these old kernel releases.

thanks,
