Yup, those should be confirmed upstream first. I'm not seeing them in
Linus' tree yet, or anything related. I thought EHL upstreaming was
completed by now?

Once they are confirmed, backporting accepted patches to certain stable
trees is much safer than having to change APIs again once that feature
hits upstream later.

I haven't looked at the details yet and I missed the Community meeting
today where this topic might have been discussed.

I'm asking myself if the dovetail tree is the right tree to take those
patches. Have these patches already been sent to upstream / Linux? If
so, we should fetch them within the next rebase cycle, right?

If not: I feel we shouldn't apply them here and follow the "upstream
first" approach.

Best regards,
Florian
