Hi! Excuse me, I'm wondering why this patch was not merged into the 5.15 stable branch.
Because it lacked the CC: stable tag?
You can still ask (or do) an explicit backport, please have a look at:
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
Cheers,

My email records say that it was backported to 5.16: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220214092515.419944498@linuxfoundation.org/ On 5.15 I have no idea why not (no email).
Anyway, on linux-5.15.y, "git cherry-pick -xs ee534378f00561207656663d93907583958339ae" does apply (it says "auto-merging"), so maybe Greg can just pick up the fix with one command?

Happy to answer why!
It was proposed for 5.15, but dropped due to build failures:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202202131427.SK7CctaU-lkp@intel.com/
The missing functions were later brought to the 5.15 tree via:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230601131937.674646135@linuxfoundation.org/
At this point, Greg's current backport of the commit in question was successful.
