It's downstream. I'm very sorry about that. The patch that adds the
compatible string (
https://source.puri.sm/martin.kepplinger/linux-next/-/commit/3d887ea76158851ae50f192094d7865cc3f4da9d
) sits in our tree (
https://source.puri.sm/martin.kepplinger/linux-next/-/commits/5.19-rc7/librem5__integration
) and I'll make sure it'll be sent out after I'm back from vacations in
a few weeks.

Sorry for the confusion!
