Comment 21 for bug 1920180

It will take a while for a patch to be merged, so you will lose wifi 6235 if you update to newer kernels.

There are processes to merge a patch. A normal process is like below:

1. a patch is sent to upstream (cc to stable kernel)
2. it gets reviewed and merged by a maintainer, and is included in next kernel release
3. it gets merged to stable kernels (in this case, 5.4 kernel)
4. a kernel is released by a distro (i.e. in this case Ubuntu kernel)

Note: I don't know how Linux Mint picks up Ubuntu kernel and there may be some time too.
