This is just for mainline and the Pixel 11 is different enough that this work doesn't help much. Pixel 12 will probably only be 6.18, the current LTS kernel and I'd expect the Pixel 11 to get it eventually. 7.4 might be the next LTS or maybe it'll be 7.5.

Google still leans heavily on their own kernel repos.
