Probably not exactly that, but there seems to be a way with "git cherry". Dunno
how reliable in practice, seems to be based on patch-id so probably can fail
easily if the commit or context changes slightly?

$ git checkout mm-nonmm-stable-2022-12-12
$ git cherry -v origin/master
+ eabb7f1ace53e127309407b2b5e74e8199e85270 lib/debugobjects: fix stat count and optimize debug_objects_mem_init

...

- d04bb0852b8bd31c53981a04ff0132698d24523d wifi: rt2x00: use explicitly signed or unsigned types
+ 3965292ad0ca70320f1c632f2ac3b886c88b9e80 checkpatch: add check for array allocator family argument order
...

Seems to have worked in this case and flagged the wifi commit with '-'

HTH,
