Bug Description

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The following upstream
       stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

       v5.4.38 upstream stable release
       from git://git.kernel.org/

Note: v5.4.38 itself consisted of a single revert (never committed to Ubuntu focal)from v5.4.37 -- so this is just a dummy tracking bug, really.

Linux 5.4.38
UBUNTU: upstream stable to v5.4.38
