The filename of the patch is:
net-move-ethtool-related-netdev-state-into-its-own-s.patch
and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.
This, and the series it's from, are absolutely not -stable material.
The commits do not fix any existing bugs, they are in support of new
features (netlink dumping of RSS contexts), and are a fairly large
and complex set of changes, which have not even stabilised yet — we
have already found issues both within the set and exposed by it in
other code, which are being fixed for 6.11.

net: move ethtool-related netdev state into its own struct
[ Upstream commit 3ebbd9f6de7ec6d538639ebb657246f629ace81e ]
net_dev->ethtool is a pointer to new struct ethtool_netdev_state, which
currently contains only the wol_enabled field.

As far as I can tell, 7195f0ef7f5b should backport fairly cleanly
to 6.10 with only simple textual fuzz.
It should not be necessary to backport the "ethtool: track custom
RSS contexts in the core" series to support this.
The above NAK also applies to the backports of:
net-ethtool-attach-an-xarray-of-custom-rss-contexts-.patch
net-ethtool-record-custom-rss-contexts-in-the-xarray.patch
net-ethtool-add-a-mutex-protecting-rss-contexts.patch
which were notified at the same time.
Makes sense! I've modified the backport of 7195f0ef7f5b ("ethtool: fix
setting key and resetting indir at once") as proposed.
