It needs a prerequisite series[1] to be applied first.
Note that, while I consider the entire series to be ready for review, there are two patches that are marked as DONOTMERGE: that's because they respectively implement support for a JSON firmware descriptor syntax extension that has not yet been approved, and import into the tree firmware descriptor that are not yet part of the Fedora edk2 package. The latter depends on the former, of course, for which patches have been posted[2] to the QEMU mailing list.
