FWICT neither this nor the 2022 TIOCSTI patch
https://git.kernel.org/linus/83efeeeb3d04b22aaed1df99bc70a48fe9d22c4d
have been backported to any earlier kernels (yet).
I'd like to ask, does anyone know if any other work was needed in 6.2
and/or 6.7 in addition to these 2 simple patches? They weren't part of a
series, or have necessary prerequisite patches, right?
I've no idea nor wish to comment on whether either of them should/should
not be backported. However, each by themselves look quite minimal and
straightforward. On the face of it, anyone building their own older
kernel could probably easily backport either of them if they wanted, if
indeed this is all that is needed.
