It's already in 5.14, commit 32bc8f8373d2d6a681c96e4b25dca60d4d1c6016.
Odd, how were we supposed to know that?
Looks like the fix was merged separately for 5.14 and 5.15. I don't know how/why that happened. Alex / Christian?
The fix already landed in drm-next, but since this was before the merge window, we wanted to make sure the fix also landed in stable, so I cherry-picked it to 5.14. I'm not sure of a better way to handle these sort of cases.
You gotta give me a chance to know what happened. As the drm developers do this a lot, they have been putting the "cherry picked from" line in the patch because they can not merge between branches and keep the git id the same.
So try using the '-x' option to 'git cherry-pick' next time?
thanks,
