The last 5.4.y kernel release has now happened: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025120319-blip-grime-93e8@gregkh/

Please don't use this branch anymore, it's really old, and pretty obsolete, and has over 1500 unfixed CVEs in it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025120358-skating-outage-7c61@gregkh/

And if you are stuck with that kernel version for some reason, go ask your vendor to fix those 1500+ CVEs, otherwise you are paying for support that doesn't actually do anything for you...

Hope they have a good laugh!
