I sent the 5.4.y patch some times ago, you can find it here: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20231023113623.36423-2-flaniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ With the recent batch I sent, I should have cover all the stable kernels. In case I miss one, please indicate it to me so I can fix this problem and ensure all stable kernels have a corresponding patch. > thanks, > > greg k-h Best regards.
