Also, I'm afraid I don't care enough to put the time in for this one.

It's a pity.

Does the tool "Git" let you also apply this update step before
the other suggestions?

It rarely copes with this sort of reordering as it doesn't have
the semantic knowledge of what matters in the other patches.

I assume that the involved software developers got a specific impression
about the discussed patch series for this software module so that a few
relevant dependencies became clearer eventually.

I proposed some update steps where I chose a specific patch granularity
once more. So I imagine that a bit of variation in the patch order
could be supported already.

Will it be possible to apply also this one a bit later just because
the patch hunk contexts might be still valid in the (near) future?
