Quite frankly, these mlx5 updates don't look like regression fixes.
They look like "continued development" to me, and seem to be things
that never worked. At least some of them look like performance
enhancements, in fact, not even resembling bugfixes. Others look like
"not a bug, but let's improve random behavior".

I pulled this once, because hardly anybody really cares. But the other
side of that "nobody cares" is that I might as well not have pulled.
If this kind of "continued development" patches keep happening, I'll
just start ignoring pull requests after the merge window.

So get your act together, and push back on the people you are supposed
to manage. Because this is *not* acceptable for post-rc5, and I'm
giving this single warning. Next time, I'll just ignore the sh*t you
send me.

Comprende?
