I would have loved to have all three show up in the same stable releases, and for some kernels (5.10 and newer) that looks like it will happen. I was not happy with the 5.4 and older backports just yet enough to be able to add them to a -rc. Hopefully James and I can work through the issues and have them in a kernel soon. Note, Linus's tree, and these backports, all do break when using clang for arm32 and arm64, so that is an issue for many ARM users. Hopefully that can be resolved and when the fixes hit Linus's tree, I'll be glad to take them to stable releases. thanks, greg k-h
