Ok, so I will backport the patches once 5.12-rc2 is out (going with rc2 not rc1 to add some time for testing). So where do I submit these once backported ? Do I just add them to dist-git as before ? AFAIK 5.11 will be the first kernel-ark based Fedora kernel (at least 5.10 dist-git does not look ark based), right ? So I'm wondering how we add patches there? I guess merge-reqs to kernel-ark are not an option since that will be tracking 5.12 at that point.
