Huh?  As Mathias said, all of the 4.11 and 4.12 patches are in 4.13,
right?  We better not have missed them, as that is _not_ how we do
kernel development and version branching.

Can you please verify this?

Also note that 4.11.y and 4.12.y are end-of-life, and we in the
community are not adding any new patches to it.  If you have a crazy
vendor that feels they want to maintain one of these kernel versions on
their own, then please go talk to them about it :)

thanks,

greg k-h
