The development for this branch of the kernel has simmered down and this latest update only integrates a few changes and improvements.
“I'm announcing the release of the 3.12.21 kernel. All users of the 3.12 kernel series must upgrade.”

According to changelog, the check for critical temperatures is now consistent, the lane/clock setup for dp 1.2 capable devices has been fixed, SS has been reenabled on Cayman, support has been implemented for the Corsair USB dongle, an ID for Telewell TW-LTE 4G v2 has been added, and a new ID for Intel GPU “spurious interrupt” quirk has been added.
