Hello Razvan,

This commit was integrated into stable v6.12.40 and we usually pick fix from stable upstream kernel after few weeks.
For the noble kernel, the latest pull from stable was submitted few days ago [1] which included fixes up to v6.12.21 (written in the cover letter).

As such, I would expect it to land in a few weeks.
