It’s complicated and it depends what you mean by openwrt.

First off, the fix relates to auto-bandwith mode or whatever it’s called and I 
don’t think many people use it.  Nonetheless:

Is the fix in ’net-next’: yes
Is the fix in 4.19 stable: In the queue for 4.19.95

Is openwrt on 4.19.95: No
Does openwrt use the in-tree version of Cake?: No

Is the fix in the Out-Of-Tree cake git repo: Yes

Has the openwrt CAKE package been bumped to follow cake git repo?: master, yes, 
as of 2020/01/11 (earlier today)

OpenWrt 19.07 has just been released, its concept of cake package has not been 
bumped.  Neither has 18.06.


It is worth noting that until yesterday/recently the out of tree cake repo had 
residue in it from some experimental stuff (SCE & updating conntrack marks) and 
did not represent upstream in-tree CAKE anyway.  That situation was corrected 
AFAIK completely this morning.

Ideally I would like openwrt to use the in-tree CAKE, with ‘feature backports’ 
from later kernels as backport patches.  Unfortunately some targets in openwrt 
are still on 4.14 kernels so there is no in-tree CAKE to use.  Dropping CAKE 
from pre 4.19 kernels caused a bit of an outcry when I did it, so the next idea 
was to have a choice of cake kernel module for K4.19 targets, in-tree & 
out-of-tree CAKE.  Unfortunately that exposed a weakness in package dependency 
selection, so that idea hasn’t flown either.  I’m afraid enthusiasm levels then 
dropped.
