Nothing special, just run "diff" between the current and the new
version of the file. Something like:
  diff -u Documentation/hwmon/vt1211.orig Documentation/hwmon/vt1211
should work fine.

By "incremetal", all I meant was: new patches to apply on top of the
current files, and not a complete replacement for the previous patches.

And if you think handling a patch stack manually is difficult, I can
only recommend using quilt:
  http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt
