Hi,

In the same patch set I also included a similar fix for the bridge
module:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=53fc685243bd6fb90d90305cea54598b78d3cbfc

But I don't see it in the patch sets you sent.

Don't see it here as well:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-5.7
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/log/?h=linux-5.7.y

Did it get lost or it's just pending somewhere else?

Thanks
