No. The rules for stable is that a patch must really fix something and
be minimal.

Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst 

What might be best is to develop a minimal, but ugly patch for stable.
Get it applied. Around a week later, net will be merged into
net-next. You can then have a 'revert' patch, followed by this series
making it nice and clean.
