Sorry, you've got the patch order wrong. You've had to modify the
backport which is evident from the context.

The revert goes first and the backport next. When the original patch and
its revert get rebased away, the backport will still be intact. With
this order, you get conflicts every step of the way, and have to be
fixed, and still risk deviating from the upstream commit.

Also, please post new revisions of patch series as new threads. The
replies to threads gets confusing to both humans and CI.

BR,
Jani.
