This is not how stable kernel backports work. Please read [1].

Does v6.2-rc1 work for you? It has all the relevant commits. Which
stable kernel are you trying to backport them to?

Though I must say I find it surprising that these changes would fix a
poweroff issue, and it certainly was not the goal. I'm wondering if it's
just a coincidence due to timing and/or locking changes.

Have you reported an issue at fdo gitlab [2]?


BR,
Jani.
