The src.rpm for that kernel is probably available somewhere.

I'm fairly certain you cannot download the SRPM for EUS kernels.
You might if you're a Red Hat customer paying for that product (but
don't take my word for it).

I agree for the format of release (SRPM), but in any case Red Hat
should provide the sources for the changes, as the kernel is GPL-2.0
Then one can manually try to merge them in a patched kernel in some
way... Gianluca

Redhat of course complies with the GPL and provide source to the
customers that get access to the binary packages. They are not required
to provide the sources to anyone else.

Yes that's why I said somewhere.
At least in the past there have been people who made their own mirrors of RHEL exclusive source packages (which the GPL allows).

I don't know who does now, but someone somewhere probably does.
