I have looked at the patch, this is a huge patch file that includes lots of changes, this is not a patch that will ever be reviewed as it's not the standard that is expected from kernel developers: small patches that do specific things.

My guess that it comes from a person who is posting a patch for the first time to the mailing list.

attributing this patch to Huawei doesn't make sense, and if they really did want to introduce a backdoor I'll only assume that they would have prepared much better patches.

these kind of one time submissions are most likely to be ignored in the mailing list..

I think it only got attention because someone saw Huawei in the headline.
