The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-remove-arch_implements_flush_dcache_folio.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: remove ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_FOLIO
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 16:13:33 +0100

Current best practice is to reuse the name of the function as a define to
indicate that the function is implemented by the architecture.
