I am unable to apply the first patch of the series:

?Applying .apply/V6-1-4-ixgbe-Fix-issues-with-EEPROM-access.patch ...
Checking for changes in the working directory ... done
Importing patch "V6-1-4-ixgbe-Fix-issues-with-EEPROM-access.patch" ...
error: patch failed: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.h:114
error: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.h: patch does not
apply
stg import: Diff does not apply cleanly

Looks like, v7 is needed to update the patches so they will actually apply
to my next-queue tree (please make sure you are using my dev-queue branch).
