The proposed change is for Ubuntu kernel component and I see that the package selected is "linux" which I guess as per the guideline at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage

---------https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage-----------
Kernel

The correct package for bugs about the kernel is linux.

Am I missing anything here ?

Th proposed changes adds support for HMI handling in Linux to recover from some of the HMI errors. Without this support system crashes and unable to run above command.
