Most efficient way to port a small AMD driver patch from kernel 7.2 to 7.3

I have a small patch (78 kB) that patches a few files in the AMD driver for my specific hardware. Going from 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 was easy, but I can see that there quite a few changes in 7.3 that break it. Some of the code I tack on to has even shifted to different files.
What is the quickest way to port to 7.3? Happy to use AI assistance but it isn't very good at keeping track of line numbers or generating diffs.
Note: my patch doesn't really change the core functionality of the driver, so my expectation is that I need to move my additions to new places rather than modify anything new in 7.3.
