Thank you Mika! I forgot how the process works. :/ The commits are: a0a37862a4e1844793d39aca9ccb8fecbdcb8659 5a802a7a285c8877ca872e44eeb0f06afcb5212f It also looks like the first patch is already in 4.14-stable, just not in 4.9. - a0a37862a4e1844793d39aca9ccb8fecbdcb8659 was included in 4.14.51: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.14.51 However, it does not look like the 2nd one has been included in 4.14 yet. Would it be then possible to add 5a802a7a285c8877ca872e44eeb0f06afcb5212f to both 4.9-stable and 4.14-stable? The impacted system is: Dell Inc. PowerEdge T110 II/0PM2CW, BIOS 2.10.0 05/24/2018 Krzysztof
