No it's not. "Already up-to-date.".

Also, even if it was, I'm not feeling the reason to pull it. "Cleanup
sprintf formatting of firmware version"? "Remove superfluous mask of
pcie_cap_reg"? Seriously?

Multi-hundred-line pull requests that come in this late had better
look a bit more serious than that.

There's *HUNDREDS* of lines of changes, all of which seems to come
from the change to use the (admittedly much superior) native bit
handling fucntions, instead of the shit-for-brains abortion that is
"esas2r_lock_set/clear_flags()"

And I see why you'd want to get rid of that horrible crap, but I see
absolutely _zero_ reason to do it in -rc7.

As far as I can tell from the patch, a few lines are for actual
problems like oopses. And the rest is pure and utter garbage that
should have happened during the merge window.

So I literally *cannot* pull this, because the git tree doesn't
contain what you said it contains. But even if it did, I would not
*want* to pull this kind of completely brainless crap.

You need to curse at the people who send you this kind of crap.
Seriously. This is not acceptablee timing.
