This is not how kernel stable releases work. Fixes first go into the
current development branch and then are picked for older stable
kernels. This guarantees all fixes in older kernels are _always_ also
available in the development branch. So you just need to be patient
and it will be backported in a timely manner. (obviously only for
commits that are marked for stable, which should be the case for new
device IDs if they work fine on older kernels).

Thanks
David
