I didn't read it in full, but it very much seems that at least a v3 of that patch set is coming and that's likely why you couldn't find it in 5.18/5.19 (or 6.0). My quick scan didn't reveal any new Kconfig entries being added, but only dependencies of existing items were changed. So it could be that nothing needs to be (manually) changed in the Debian kernel for it to become available *once* it has been merged into the upstream kernel. Best thing to do is watch for newer version(s) of that patch serie and when that gets merged in the upstream kernel. If it then turns out that a new Kconfig entry is added and needed, then file a (wishlist) bug against the Debian kernel requesting that specific item to be enabled. HTH, Diederik
