With a diffstat summary like

 24 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1697 deletions(-)

there's not a lot I could complain about ;l)

I do note that while I've merged patch series from you before, I don't
seem to have done a git pull from you.

But since you already have a git tree, and the tree looks fine, it
really is just a git request-pull, and you basically already have the
cover-letter to add to the email.

In fact, you don't even have to use a signed tag since it's on
kernel.org - but it's always nice to see, and you can put the cover
letter explanation into the tag.
