I'm told netdev patches are going through the regular stable queue
now, so I'd like to nominate this commit from mainline, if it hasn't
been picked up already (I don't see it in the queue currently).

This patch is reported to fix a severe upload speed regression in many
Intel wireless adapters existing since kernel 5.9, as described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209913 .

    iwlwifi: provide gso_type to GSO packets

    net/core/tso.c got recent support for USO, and this broke iwlfifi
    because the driver implemented a limited form of GSO.

    Providing ->gso_type allows for skb_is_gso_tcp() to provide
    a correct result.

    Fixes: 3d5b459ba0e3 ("net: tso: add UDP segmentation support")
