It was not quite like that. It was refused to apply on 4.19-rcX due to
-next merge -rc conflict that it will cause. And it was promised
that fixes will be backported thought -stable.

Regarding this case, there is no single commit that add 802.11w support
we could request to add to -stable. It was added together with other
features in:

    mt76x0: init hw capabilities

which depend on switching mt76x0u to mt76-usb layer.

So I'm not sure how this request should be satisfied.
