Great job!

However, I found 26 patches in v6.13-rc1-rt1-patches:

petr@...decai:~/src/linux>  git ls-tree v6.13-rc1-rt1-patches:patches | grep '\.patch$' | wc -l
26

It turns out, that these two patch files are orphaned (not listed in
series):
- netfilter-nft_counter-Use-u64_stats_t-for-statistic.patch
- riscv-add-PREEMPT_AUTO-support.patch

What is the reason to keep them around? Is it even intentional?
