I tried to do that but it failed:

Applying: rtlwifi: Change logging level for key change
fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/cam.c).
Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0001 rtlwifi: Change logging level for key change

I was not even able to find that code from cam.c. Have I missed a patch?

No worries. But stuff like this is usually best to send as RFC first and
ask people to analyse it before sending it officially.
