Bagas- I don't have a problem with this patch.

If it could be automated easily, that would be OK too.

Or I might add that v6.x patches are located at
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/

and v5.x patches are located at
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/

thanks.
