I've CC'd stable to see if they want to pick this up.
That's not how stable works - and you'll probably receive a standard form
whinge from them about that.  Please read up on the submission requirements
to the stable kernel trees.
Ah, thanks.  usually, I just add the Cc: line for fixes I send to
arm-soc.  Since this patch affects more than just kirkwood/marvell, I
didn't feel it was appropriate to pull it in through my tree.
Yes, you put the Cc: line in the commit, but you don't actually send it
to that address.
[...]

It's OK to cc the stable address when submitting to the relevant
subsystem maintainer *as well as* including the cc: line in the commit
message.  It just can't be used as a substitute for the commit line.
No it is not.  It seems you also need to read
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
[...]

None of which contradicts what I said above.  There is no need for
people to specifically filter out stable at vger.kernel.org from mail
recipients.  I never see any complaints from Greg or others when patches
have it cc'd in both the commit message and the mail header; only when
it is in the mail header *only*.

Ben.
