This must be rather recent code to be needed in Disco. For the SRU I would like
to see a better argumentation about why this is needed (which functionality is
currently broken) and which platforms are affected (mentioning device-tree
points to Arm but this should be less guessing). Also, right now the reason for
not mentioning Eoan is likely that it is a copy forward kernel there. But
mentioning that helps to recognize someone has spent thoughts on it. Would also
be good to mention which upstream kernel version includes all requested patches.
