No, it should be applied to stable/10 as well.  I intentionally
didn't include additional diff for MAC statistics which will not
work on stable/10 and stable/9 due to if_inc_counter changes made
in HEAD.

I tried to apply the diff again against stable/10 and it succeeded
with minor fuzz and offset differences.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm more worried about MAC reset and master reset timeout shown
below.  The MAC reset timeout makes me wonder how this can happen
since driver just checks bit 0 and bit 1, the low nibble of the
register value can't be 0.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think this also can't happen since driver checks bit[0-3], the
low byte should be non-zero when the timeout triggers.

Do you have any local changes in alc(4)?  As I said, the diff
could be applied to stable/10 without any manual modification.

Thanks for testing!
