Can we use a standard syntax for this, something like:

Upstream-Status: Backport (fixed in file-5.12)

(as mentioned in
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Contribution_Guidelines#Patch_Header_Recommendations)

for the same reasons as I just mentioned to Marcin - so we can tell from
scripts what status patches have and it helps reviewers in future know
this can be dropped. The aim is to push patches upstream and standard
syntax means we can get real numbers for how many patches we're
carrying.

I appreciate you can read and tell from the above what it means but I
really want to try and use a consistent syntax.

Cheers,

Richard
