The series is being applied onto the Android Common Kernel android14-6.1 
branch and I've posted a series to bring the branch from v11 to v12. 
This would show what changed between the two versions:

https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/hashtag:%22gunyah-v12%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)

This last bullet point will be included in v13.
