We had today a brief discussion about your request in the weekly
kernel team meeting, and we do not really aim to start backporting
such changes with may become more problematic in future while we
frequently rebase versions in stable (as we follow the stable upstream
releases). We though about it, and think this might be worth asking
the stable maintainers upstream for inclusion, which I will do next.

If the request is accepted then fine, and we can as well pick the
change in advance in the next uploads. But if it gets denied I have do
defer you to please use the backports kernel (once trixie is
released).

Regards,
Salvatore
