I think the criteria is, if it has been merged into Linus's tree in a
kernel release, then CC'ing stable means any future stable releases of
the kernel will have the patch applied to the stable tree. The fix
patch itself will need to be merged into Linus tree at a future date
before being applied to the stable tree. But at least CC'ing stable
means it is tracked my stable bots and they'll do the right. This is
my understanding.

If the patch you are fixing was applied for v5.7 merge window, then I
don't think you need to CC stable.

I'd also avoid top-posting and send inline replies:
