In this patchset, base-commit seems missing.

Please see this link:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.15#n868

"
When you open ``outgoing/0000-cover-letter.patch`` for editing, you will
notice that it will have the ``base-commit:`` trailer at the very
bottom, which provides the reviewer and the CI tools enough information
to properly perform ``git am`` without worrying about conflicts::
"

When creating patches:
"
git format-patch --base=main origin/main
"

This will include a base-commit: line in each patch file:

"
base-commit: abcdef1234567890...
"

This is useful when submitting patches to mailing lists or other tooling.

Please follow the submitting-patches.rst to add base-commit.
