This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

My checklist against stable_kernel_rules.txt is below.

I could only find two reasons why you are saying this is incorrect:

  1. There is no matching upstream commit; or

This is an obvious one, it needs to be upstream first.

Or if not, a whole lot of explaination saying that you know it isn't,
and why it isn't, and why it isn't applicable there, including agreement
from the subsystem maintainers saying that they agree with you.
