Further, we have already dropped support for macos < 12
in the ui/cocoa.m code in commit 2d27c91e2b72ac.

For the whole series:

PS: you don't need to put a signed-off-by line on the cover
letter, only in the individual patches.

I have been using b4 (https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/) these days 
and it automatically appends Signed-off-by to the cover letter.

Many subsystems use cover letters as templates for merge commits, which is why
b4 puts the Signed-off-by there. It has no impact on subsystems that don't do
that.

...well, except that it sends the implicit signal "this person
or tool doesn't know how QEMU's patch workflow works, maybe
check more closely", which is slightly unfortunate.
