All already grabbed.

Note, this one references a 6.10-rc1 commit, so it can't be included.
Don't know if you want to add that to your script to check.

Same, 6.10-rc1.  And also, the check is wrong, that's not what this
commit does, you might want to read the commits :)

Fixes 6.10-rc1

Welcome to my hell :(

This already is in the tree, as a totally different commit, and
backported properly, but the AMD developers seem to like to apply it to
different branches at the same time, AND give us no hints that they did
so.  Ugh, it's a mess and one reason I dread reviewing amdgpu driver
patches for stable these days...

thanks,
