Thank you, I understand the problem much better now. I'm no backports
expert so I can't really help with this but I'm guessing that the vendor
kernel contains changes which break backports, just like you said.

You might get better help from the backports mailing list, CCed. For
people new to the thread, here's the link to the original mail.
