Hi @sendaoYan, 
this is a normal thing happening with backports. We don't file extra bugs for this.
If it was clean before, it is best to push an extra commit on top of the original backport, explain in detail in the PR what and why it was edited, and include a short remark in the approval comment that it had to be adapted to 21. (This hints the person backporting to 17 to base the backport on the 21 commit).
