If this is a simple device ID addition without any other dependencies,
then it qualifies for Linux stable.  And you'll get it in Debian stable
for free.

New device ID patches are regularily backported to the maintained stable
kernels, and usually picked up automatically by the stable maintainers.
You can request a backport of a specific commit in mainline by sending
an email to sta...@vger.kernel.org

See https://docs.kernel.org/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
