Please advise.
If it already made it to net-next chances are 99% that it will be in linux.git soon and then make it's way to linux-stable. Hence I'd put the patch in backports-5.10. Only stuff you grab from upstream lists/patchwork or submitted yourself but hasn't been accepted yet should go into pending-5.10. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
