This is not in a format that I can take.

Also, this does not match that commit id, so you need to document it
really really well why this is different.

And you lost the original authorship information, and the reviews.

And finally, we can't take a change for 4.19.y that is also not in newer
kernel releases, because if we did that, and you upgraded, you would
have a regression.

But most importantly, why are you still doing stuff on 4.19.y?  This
kernel is going to go end-of-life very soon, and you should already have
all of your systems that rely on it off of it by now, or planned to
within a few months.  To not do that is to ensure that you will end up
with insecure systems when the end-of-life deadline happens.

thanks,
