I don't understand what you mean here.  It did apply, and it was marked
for stable inclusion.  It is commit
6f38a8b9a45833495dc878c335c5431cd98a16ed in Linus's tree.  Does it break
the build?

drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c: In function 'cxl_pci_vphb_add':
drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c:263:9: error: 'pcibios_free_controller_deferred' undeclared

Yes, it does break the build, by calling a function which does not exist in 4.4 or 4.7.

Sorry, the Cc: stable was dropped in the 4.4/4.7 versions, so I didn't see it.
I meant to say "it doesn't build".

You will either have to drop e5767a13d7cb. or you'll also need commit 2dd9c11b9d4
("powerpc/pseries: use pci_host_bridge.release_fn() to kfree(phb)") from upstream.
I didn't check though if that applies (or works) with the older kernels.

I'm going to drop it, thanks for pointing this out, I should have caught
it earlier too...
