Yes, some of the stable tags were missed deliberately since the new base code
update is for FW 7.1/7.2, it's not guaranteed to be compatible with old FW.

I would suggest we only backport below obvious fixes to stable releases.

20.02 8f33cbcfa S F net/i40e/base: fix buffer address (16.04)
20.02 4b3da9415 S F net/i40e/base: fix error message (1.7.0)
20.02 79bfe7808 S F net/i40e/base: fix Tx descriptors number (1.7.0)
20.02 50126939c - F net/i40e/base: fix retrying logic (18.02)

Thanks,
