Hello Sasha,
Thank you for considering this patch for the stable tree 6.9, 6.8, 6.6,
and 6.1.
This patch does two things:
1. Fixes a potential memory corruption issue mentioned as the third
point in the commit message
2. Enables the kernel to avoid unnecessary fadump re-registration on
memory add/remove events
To make the second functionality available to users, I request you also
consider the upstream patch
mentioned below along with this patch. Both patches were part of the
same patch series.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?id=bc446c5acabadeb38b61b565535401c5dfdd1214
Now, there was also a third patch in the same patch series, but that is
about a documentation update.

Thanks,
Sourabh Jain
