Why not check out the "b4" tool? It helps with this kind of
stuff.

It's not very magical, from v4 I would create a new branch:
b4 prep -n rtl83xx -f v6.8-rc1
b4 prep --force-version 5
b4 prep --set-prefixes net-next
b4 prep --edit cover
<insert contents of patch 0/11 cover letter>
then cherry pick the 11 patches on top of that branch
and next time you b4 send it, it will pop out as v5.

OK I know it's a bit of threshold but the b4 threshold is
really low.

Yours,
