The minimum set, including the patch that fixes the issue, is the
following:

65b709586e22 vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in vdpasim_dev_attr
f37cbbc65178 vdpa_sim: make 'config' generic and usable for any device type
cf1a3b35382c vdpa_sim: store parsed MAC address in a buffer
6c6e28fe4579 vdpa_sim: add struct vdpasim_dev_attr for device attributes
423248d60d2b vdpa_sim: remove hard-coded virtq count

The patches apply fairly cleanly. There are a few contextual differences
due to the lack of the other patches:

$ git backport-diff -u master -r linux-5.10.y..HEAD
Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively

001/5:[----] [--] 'vdpa_sim: remove hard-coded virtq count'
002/5:[----] [-C] 'vdpa_sim: add struct vdpasim_dev_attr for device attributes'
003/5:[----] [--] 'vdpa_sim: store parsed MAC address in a buffer'
004/5:[----] [-C] 'vdpa_sim: make 'config' generic and usable for any device type'
005/5:[----] [-C] 'vdpa_sim: add get_config callback in vdpasim_dev_attr'

Shortly I'll send the series to stable@vger.kernel.org so you can judge
if it's okay or better to resend this patch with a better description.

Thanks
