The patch applies to 5.1. Does it need a Fixes: and a Cc:stable?
Actually, we want it to be backported to an older kernel possibly one
that added papr-scm driver, b5beae5e224f ("powerpc/pseries: Add driver
for PAPR SCM regions"). But that doesn't apply easily. It does apply
without conflicts to 5.0
