Are we ok with working on a solution during kernel-5.3 cycle ?

You can start working on it any time, no need to ask for permission.

I just want to make sure we don't remove it from the kernel before we send
a general API solution.

The code is gone in this merge window.

Ok, so we must fix it to kernel-5.3 to make sure we're covered.

Understood.

This way we'll make sure that all the kernel versions has this
functionality...

Again, we do not provide functionality for out of tree modules.  We've
had the p2p API for about a year now, its not like you didn't have
plenty of time.

I didn't know about the intention to remove this code...

Also this code was merged before the p2p API for p2pmem.
