Hello PCI maintainers,

There was a message sent out that this patch was applied, yet the patch does
not appear to be part of the pull request that was sent out yesterday:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20240520222943.GA7973@bhelgaas/T/#u

In fact, there seems to be many PCI patches that have been reviewed and ready
to be included (some of them for months) that is not part of the pull request.

Looking at pci/next, these patches do not appear there either, so I assume
that these patches will also not be included in a follow-up pull request.

Some of these patches are actual fixes, like the patch in $subject, and do not
appear to depend on any other patches, so what is the reason for not including
them in the PCI pull request?


Kind regards,
Niklas
