I noticed in [2] this: "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.15+"

The post on marc.info (try to use lore.kernel.org links as that works easier 
for most people) seems to be posted to the 'linux-kernel' list, which I 
*think* is not the same as 'stable@vger.kernel.org'.

So I would suggest to try again by sending it to stable.vger.k.o with explicit 
mention of kernel 5.10.
GKH is a busy man so I recommend to take your time to construct an email which 
is as short as possible, but still contains all the info needed to evaluate 
the request.

I would recommend to mention the following things:

Commit ID in 5.15 = 3640cdccbe75b8922e5bfc0191dd37e3aaa24833

Link to post in which the patch author said they'd ACK it for 5.10:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CACO55tv0jO2TmuWcwFiAUQB-__DZVwhv7WNN9MfgMXV053gknw@mail.gmail.com/

In your mail make sure the link doesn't break over 2 lines like it does above.

HTH,
