WTF: patch "[PATCH] tpm: Fix some name collisions with drivers/char/tpm.h" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.0-stable tree?

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.0-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to <[email protected]> and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] tpm: Fix some name collisions with drivers/char/tpm.h

* Rename TPM_BUFSIZE defined in drivers/char/tpm/st33zp24/st33zp24.h to ST33ZP24_BUFSIZE.
* Rename TPM_BUFSIZE defined in drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_infineon.c to TPM_I2C_INFINEON_BUFSIZE.
* Rename TPM_RETRY in tpm_i2c_nuvoton to TPM_I2C_RETRIES.
* Remove TPM_HEADER_SIZE from tpm_i2c_nuvoton.

Fixes bf38b8710892 ("tpm/tpm_i2c_stm_st33: Split tpm_i2c_tpm_st33 in 2 layers (core + phy)")

Fixes aad628c1d91a ("char/tpm: Add new driver for Infineon I2C TIS TPM")

Fixes 32d33b29ba07 ("TPM: Retry SaveState command in suspend path")
