Mark, what's your take on backporting these to 4.19 LTS? Do we abandon the subject and "just" merge (once reviewed/ approved) into 5.5? I believe addressing all the issues mentioned on 4.19 is important.
I didn't actually look at the patches since by the time I went to look at them it was clear that there was going to be a new version. Pierre was saying that they added new functionality which would generally not be suitable.
See Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst for the official rules.
