let me know.

Anything received after that time might be too late.
The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

I just now noticed a sizable discrepancy between what's in the
stable-queue and what's in -rc1, for 5.10.y through 6.12.y. (6.18.y
and 6.19.y appear unaffected.)
To make sure this is an apples-to-apples comparison, I'll compare with
the stable-queue as of commit 2370009958172f632d48973387e7b6ae116086b1
("Drop a broken ACPI patch"); I'd expect the queue as of that commit to
match the -rc1 patches, if I'm not mistaken.
# of patches in # of patches in
stable mailing list stable-queue git
thread @ 237000995817
5.10.252-rc1 147 334
5.15.202-rc1 164 411
6.1.165-rc1 232 533
6.6.128-rc1 283 683
6.12.75-rc1 385 953
6.18.16-rc1 752 751
6.19.6-rc1 844 843
The off-by-one difference for 6.18.y/6.19.y is expected, since
(unlike the stable-queue itself) the -rc1 patch and the mailing
list thread include a Makefile patch to update the version number.
For the other kernels, though, it looks to me like something
went wrong somewhere. Of course I could be mistaken, but that's
how it appears to me.
In any case, I figured I should bring this to your attention.
