Fixes: identifies the commit that introduced a bug for better reference,
independently of whether the fix should be backported.
If something shouldn't be selected by autosel one can add
Cc: <[email protected]> # reason to exclude from stable
In this case I assume you said that because SW_SYNC is test infrastructure? If
so, AFAIK the stable team explicitly does backport test infrastructure as people
also run selftests on stable kernels.
