Why has this patch been marked "not applicable", also without any discussion?

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/patch/20211127153550.GA23039@gofer.mess.org/

So the kernel side changes are accepted and merged upstream, but the
necessary user space changes are "not applicable". Is there a plan to revert
the kernel side commits?
