ack, ok

It is a bit confusing, sorry - I sent 11 patches in total, so I put
"0/11" on the cover letter, but that's the total over 5 branches.
(They are in sequence starting here:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-virtualization/message/7298 and
listed in the first message in this thread)
When I sent each patch, I put the branch name that the patch applies
to in the Subject line.

There are at most 3 patches for any given branch, and although the
patches do look similar between branches, there are small differences:
eg. selection of "v5.10/standard/bcm-2xxx-rpi" for gatesgarth vs
"v5.12/standard/bcm-2xxx-rpi" for hardknott, reflecting the state of
linux-yocto-dev at the point that the branch was active.
So I sent the patches that I tested in each branch, and I would
recommend applying the sent one rather than picking similar ones
across between branches for these.

thanks,

Christopher
