 Yes, as I said, I saw the spec file in the srpm, and the only thing I
 can see there is the tzupdate2.patch, but that doesn't explain the gap
 between 2.12-1 and 2.12-4. My concern is that there may be ARM specific
 fixes between those versions, and primary F13 never appears to have
 shipped with 2.12-4.


It is basically just that, possibly some changes to the spec file itself as well from memory when I looked at it. diffing against mainline will tell you that. The fixes for F-13 weren't accepted upstream, the ones for F-14 were less bad but I think F-15 will have something that's acceptable to upstream.
