It's easiest if you send us the backported patches based on top of whatever
the latest OpenBMC dev branch is (dev-5.0 right now), that way if there are
any conflicts it's the subject matter expert dealing with cleaning them up.

When you backport your patches, please use `git cherry-pick -x $SHA`, as
this will embed the commit ID of the upstream change in the footer of
the commit message of the cherry-picked change. This allows us to easily
track the origin of your patch back upstream if necessary (handy for
Fixes: lines).

Cheers,
