When you say "tagged as backports" are you referring to the Upstream-Status?

So this is a backport patch:
     Upstream-Status: Accepted
[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=76255f73
    2d68aef2b90d36d9c7be51a9e1739ce7]

but these two aren't yet or never will be:
     Upstream-Status: Submitted
     Upstream-Status: Denied

See here for explanations:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines#Patch_Header_Recommendations:_Upstream-Status

In either case, do not rely on Upstream-Status when deciding what to drop and what to keep. The only authority is actual code: if it already contains the patch (or, in rare cases, resolves the issue in a different way), you can drop it. Otherwise you most likely need to keep it, rebasing as needed.
