Hi Greg, Sasha Commit 04361b8bb818 ("net: sfp: fix state loss when updating state_hw_mask") ends with: Fixes: 8475c4b70b04 ("net: sfp: re-implement soft state polling setup") git tag --contains 8475c4b70b04 shows that the problem was introduced in v6.1-rc1. However, the fix has not been backported yet to v6.1.X Is the Fixes: tag not sufficient to trigger the machinery to get it back ported? Please could you back port it. It cleanly cherry-picks to v6.1.33 Thanks Andrew
