BTW, The state of PATCH v4 is changed to "Defered".
Link to latest PATCH v4:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/PA4PR04MB963838F12BADC1B9FD377CB7D114A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Press "expand" of Series, you can find <v4 0/1> which is the cover letter with change history of PATCH v2 to v4.
