This does not apply:

Applying: ath11k: init/deinit monitor rings
fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/core.h).
error: could not build fake ancestor
Patch failed at 0001 ath11k: init/deinit monitor rings

And the sha1 id is incorrect so I can't use 3-way merge to correct it
myself. Please ALWAYS use the ath11k-bringup branch as the baseline and
make sure you don't have other patches applied, otherwise it will be
pain to handle conflicts.
