You are reporting that the apt kernel package, built from the stable branch of the rpi-firmware repo, doesn't include the very latest kernel commits? That's a feature, not a bug.

If instead you are saying that you built the latest sources but they don't appear to be running, then did you actually install the built kernel?

sudo make modules_install
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb /boot/
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/*.dtb* /boot/overlays/
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README /boot/overlays/
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/kernel.img

And don't forget to reboot after installing all the files.
