How does this patch differ from version 11, which I already approved?
When a patch is approved that does not depend on other unapproved patches,
the general expectation is that it will be committed, unless you find some
other issue with it so you no longer think it's suitable for commit as-is
and instead want to propose a new changed version. Then a shorter patch
series would be posted, omitting the committed patches.
In general, when submitting a revised patch or patch series it's a good
idea to make clear what has changed from the previous version (this should
go in the patch submission emails, but not the commit message; the Linux
kernel convention is that after the commit message you can have a "---"
line, then any additional information not intended for the commit message,
such as about changes from previous patch versions, before the patch
itself).
