The fixes tag is correct, but the qmp driver has since been split into
multiple drivers.

But first, the commit in question will not even compile without
7a7d86d14d07 ("phy: qcom-qmp-combo: fix broken power on") which from
what I can tell has not yet been backported (even though it has a stable
tag).

Did you make sure that you compile-tested this patch after applying it
to 5.15?

Second, this commit fixes the combo driver which did not exist before
94a407cc17a4 (phy: qcom-qmp: create copies of QMP PHY driver) which
split the older driver into multiple drivers. This onef and all the
follow-on cleanups should not be backported.

If we find anything that really needs to be fixed in stable kernels
prior to the driver split, those fixes need to be backported properly
to the older version of the driver. This should not be automated.
