I probably should have asked my question *below* the pertinent context
of the the 17 patches listed in the pull request, which was:

I have recently seen some of devicetree patches being picked up for
the 4.20 stable-queue.  That seemed to suggest that some, but not all
of these will end up in the next LTS release.  Also I was wondering if
any of this is likely to get backported to LTSI-4.14.
