Very old.  Hundreds of thousands of kernel changes old.  Do you really realize
how old it is?

Who is "we" here?  Why can't you use a newer kernel version?  What is keeping
you from updating?  Out-of-tree kernel drivers?  If so, where are they, I will
be glad to forward port them for you and get them into the main kernel tree.

As this seems to be a self-inflicted requirement, it seems that you would be
the only one to be able to resolve this.  You can't ask the community to do
backporting work for you.

Where are these patches?

Just do a diff on the git tree, it makes it very trivial to do so.
