Hello 'nafeiy', we indeed wanted to pick this up in the next days.
Just notice that this is a development bug, opened at the Launchpad bug tracking system, that is mainly used for development.

We will usually produce a patched 20.04/focal/5.4 test kernel, that we make a available via a so called PPA (a special repository).
It will take then some steps in our SRU cycle until this patched kernel gets released.
These are the upcoming kernel Service Release Cycles (SRUs): https://kernel.ubuntu.com/

This 5.4 kernel will then be migrated by our kernel team to 18.04/bionic/hwe-5.4.
But in this case we may also create a dedicated hwe-5.4 test kernel for bionic for you, to save you some time.

The process for hotfixes is a different.
