No, it isn't yet. My patch has not been reviewed yet.

Oh dear, that's the bit I missed.

At this point I assume that I should not resubmit a patch (to avoid
unnecessary noise) and patiently wait for a review, e.g., by Jiri, for
it to be included in next.
From there, I'll try to do the right thing (CC stable in the
signed-off area) shall a new version be necessary or follow option 2
with the commit id when it gets merged to Linus' tree.

Once again, my apologies for failing to follow the procedure and thank
you for your patience.
