I believe your series is complete, as it did build correctly with my
branch. I think Richard is missing some commits in his branch,
including:
linux-yocto/6.18: update to v6.18.8

Just a note about the process while we are at it: picking this series
was not straightforward, at least with b4: it got confused by patches
1-4 appearing twice (1 oe-core, 1 meta-yocto). It was not a big deal and
I have no suggestion for a better process so far, but it would be
helpful if patch numbers were unique.

Thanks,
Mathieu
