Does it make sense for this change to be back-ported to stable and
long-term kernels?

I am asking to make sure we do the right thing here, as I can imagine
that older kernels (primarily because some folks could use, for example,
Ubuntu LTS releases for development) might often be used by people who
work with the Xilinx FPGAs and such.

I think that make sense to do so. I haven't had a time to take look at
it closely but I think on Xilinx ZynqMP zcu102 board this missing patch
is causing hang when standard debian 5.10 is used.

OK.  This definitely would be a good candidate for back-port then - it
might help quite a few folks to get their device going without this
troublesome hang you mentioned.

There are a few options as per:
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

You can send v3 adding the appropriate tag (see above link or the
comment below) or once this series (or mainly this patch) reaches Linus'
tree, then send a message to the stable maintainers mailing list to let
them know what any why to back-port.

At this point, I believe that adding the "Cc:" tag which includes the
"stable@vger.kernel.org" might be the best option as it would involve
the least amount of work to for Sasha et al.

What do you think?  Which option would you like to go for?

I have sent v3 with above changes.

Thanks,
Michal
