It is a nice hint, but not always needed, and is NOT how to trigger a
patch to be backported to stable kernels.  Please read the documentation
on how to properly do that.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

For fixes, you need to have a 'Fixes: ... ' line in the comment.

This lets folks doing the stable branch know how far back to apply the fix.

For this case, this is likely

Fixes: 36847f9e3e56 ("firmware: stratix10-svc: correct reconfig flag and 
timeout values")

This should go right above your signoff.


By stand alone patch, this change should be split out from your current 

[PATCHv3 1/6] firmware: stratix10-svc: add COMMAND_AUTHENTICATE_BITSTREAM flag

So the next rev out your patch set will have 7 patches, because 1/6 is being 
split into two patches.

I would recommend the fix be 1/7, to minimize chance of conflicts merging it 
with stable.

or

submit the split out fix first.

Clean up COMMAND_RECONFIG_FLAG_PARTIAL flag by resetting it to 0, which
aligns with the firmware settings.
