Nouveau - Jan 2023 - [PATCH] nouveau: explicitly wait on the fence in nouveau_bo_move_m2mf

Hello,

The patch "[Nouveau] [PATCH] nouveau: explicitly wait on the fence in 
nouveau_bo_move_m2mf" [1] was marked for kernels v5.15+ and it was 
merged upstream.

The same patch [1] works with kernel 5.10.y, but it is not been merged 
upstream so far.

According to Karol Herbst suggestion [2], I'm sending this message to 
ask for merging it into 5.10 kernel.

Thanks in advance.

We need to know the git commit id.  And have you tested it on 5.10.y?
And why are you stuck on 5.10.y for this type of hardware?  Why not move
to 5.15.y or 6.1.y?

And as my bot says:

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
