WTF: patch "[PATCH] drm/panfrost: fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.3-stable tree?

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.3-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,

We get these warnings when build kernel W=1:
drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:35:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_perfcnt_clean_cache_done’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:40:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_perfcnt_sample_done’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:190:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_ioctl_perfcnt_enable’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:218:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_ioctl_perfcnt_dump’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:250:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_perfcnt_close’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:264:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_perfcnt_init’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_perfcnt.c:320:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_perfcnt_fini’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_mmu.c:227:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_mmu_flush_range’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_mmu.c:435:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘panfrost_mmu_map_fault_addr’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

For file panfrost_mmu.c, make functions static to fix this. For file panfrost_perfcnt.c, include header file can fix this.
