I very much am not inclined to backport this stuff, it impacts an extremely small group of people so the risk/benefit ratio is simply not worth it for me to do the work.
If someone else does the work and tests it, I'm willing to ACK it going into -stable.
But this change impacted a lot of MDIO drivers and there were regressions that needed to be fixed up the first time this stuff went in.
