Not the whole patches in this series but only this patch is intended to be
merged in stable series, right?  If I'm not wrong, you could add
'Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>' tag here[1] when resending, to let stable kernel
maintainers easily understand exactly what patches should be merged in the
stable kernels.  So, you wouldn't need to touch coverletter or cc whole series
but only this one.

Thanks,
