Justo to be sure, my understanding is that we are here talking about this commit: rt2800: fix TX_PIN_CFG setting for non MT7620 chips https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/?id=83ec489193894e52bd395eec470f4f7c4286d4a5 I applied that already last Wednesday and that was without "Cc: stable". So now someone should follow Option 2, wait the commit to hit Linus' tree (I expect it to happen some time this week) and then send a note to the stable team: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#option-2 Or if the commit doesn't apply cleanly to v4.13 then Option 3 is of course the better approach. -- Kalle Valo
