Well, this is a patch set of 34 commits, which is significant, and looks
to me that they cover much more than just fixing "EP11 cards going
offline", rather than bringing the entire driver to the latest level.
The usual way is to pick the minimal set of patches that fix a
particular issue and get these SRUed.
And btw. this is a relatively unusual way of sharing patches or backports -- if
about a handful of patches (or two) are needed, we would do cherry-picks or
apply selective backport patch-files.
In case of more patches the usual way is a branch with a pull-request.
But the patches seem to apply cleanly to the current focal master-next
tree and touch s390x specific files only (either in /arch/s390/ or in
/drivers/s390/).
Please notice that hirsute's 5.11 kernel would need to be on the same
level, to avoid any potential regressions on upgrades.
I'll bring this to the kernel teams attention and we'll discuss if this
is doable as SRU.
