Hi, I am experiencing the same issue here - I need to find the latest patched version of the Android 5.1.1 source code with all of relevant security patches included. The latest version of the 5.1.1 source code I found on https://android.googlesource.com (r38) seem to be quite outdated (it is only up to date until mid 2016). Even the master version doesn't seem to have all of the security patches included (for example, to patch to this bug <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libhevc/+/a92b39ff0c47d488b81fecd62ba85e48d386aa68> doesn't seem to be included in the master version of the source code).
Am I missing something here? Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards.
