There is no functional dependency between these 2 commits. The context
change which causes the second commit to fail to apply without the
first commit is trivial to fix. I can provide a patch for version 5.15
and older. I think it is preferable to backporting an extra patch which
wouldn't otherwise qualify for stable trees.
