You'd specify a "# x.y+" limit along with a "Fixes" tag if you don't want 
to backport as far back as the buggy commit (because some other 
pre-requisite isn't present on the older branches). But that does not 
apply in this case.

Writing "# 5.14" is surprising because (according to www.kernel.org 
landing page) that branch was abandoned, and no live branch was named. 
But in "git log" you can see that people write this anyway.

Writing "# 5.14+" or "# 5.15+" is clear enough but is normally omitted 
when it can be inferred from the Fixes tag. That's been my experience, at 
least.
