It is a serious bug, but it is not a regression. I.e whatever is fixed
by this patch never worked. So if you take a conservative view on
pushing patches to stable and only want to fix regressions, this one
doesn't qualify. However, if you take a more open approach and say you
want to fix obvious bugs/issues even in older stable kernels, then
indeed this patch qualifies.

If you are within the kernel developers with this more open approach to
sending patches to stable, then you can add:

Fixes: 8c39d710363c1 ("PCI: aardvark: Add Aardvark PCI host controller driver")
Cc: <redacted>

when applying the patch. Unless of course you want me to resend the
patch series with this added. Just let met know what you prefer.  

It is up to you, I think it qualifies for stable kernels so I would
send it but it is your choice, please let me know.

It's OK for me to have it in stable kernels. The fix is pretty obvious,
so you can add the Fixes/Cc tags when applying. Unless of course you
want me to resend an updated version.

Best regards,

Thomas
