This is a good question, apparently the content of the queued patch is:

commit 4df607cc6fe8e46b258ff2a53d0a60ca3008ffc7
Author: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@google.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 17 10:28:29 2019 -0700

    kbuild: Remove unnecessary -Wno-unused-value


however the commit message is from:

commit 25cec756891e8733433efea63b2254ddc93aa5cc
Author: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org>
Date:   Tue Jun 18 14:14:40 2019 -0700

    net/ipv4: fib_trie: Avoid cryptic ternary expressions


Other than that the stable port also is missing a Signed-off-by tag
from Nathan.

Looks like the patch didn't actually make it into -stable yet? If that
is correct we should be in time to fix it up before it becomes part of
the git history.
