I backported it to all LTS and stable branches (except 5.9 which is EOL)
It has been released to some of them, for the rest the patch is in
stable-queue.git => will be released soon.

Do you mean to disable MUSL based toolchains for affected packages?
I'm carrying patch for LTP, which is not going to be upstreamed.
Sure, I could drop this patch and add: depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL,
but I expect more packages affected by <linux/sysinfo.h> bug.

I've prepared package for v5.8.0 which was blocked by this, then v5.9.0.
There is already v5.10.0. I'm not sure what is better: allow BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC
to have iproute2, but block new features (we still have v5.7.0).

Kind regards,
