I still don't see this commit in stable/linux-6.7.y branch?

Nor in:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git

What am I missing?

($subject had this patch marked as AUTOSEL, so I would have assumed that
it should have been merged by now, since this was 20 days ago.)


This patch in $subject is needed for another follow up patch which
failed to be backported because $subject patch is not in stable/linux-6.7.y:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/2024021945-jockey-spending-9e68@gregkh/

(The follup up patch had CC: stable tag, but the patch in $subject
unfortunately forgot to add CC: stable tag.)

Could you please help to get both:
20730e9b2778 ("ahci: add 43-bit DMA address quirk for ASMedia ASM1061 controllers")
and
51af8f255bda ("ahci: Extend ASM1061 43-bit DMA address quirk to other ASM106x parts")

backported to kernel 6.6 and 6.7.

No need to backport to older kernels, as this problem was first exposed by:
791c2b17fb40 ("iommu: Optimise PCI SAC address trick")
which started to put devices into >4GB DMA address range.


Kind regards,
Niklas
