Can you do that please? I know Google still cares about 5.4 kernel trees :)
For 5.4 renaming mddev_destroy_serial_pool() to mddev_destroy_wb_pool() should be good. I notified the Android security team to test.
The patch also applies to 5.15, but I haven't tested it.
I took it there as we can't take a patch for an older kernel and not a newer one, as that would cause a regression when people upgrade.
Makes sense.
