I would say precedence should be Jiri's patches, Alex's patches
and then yours:
Alex's patches fix the core (cls_api.c) area with proper extack
for the core and then he has one patch to cover a specific
use case of the u32 classifier extack. Yours is only concerned
with one use case - bpf which depend on the core (that is in Alex's
patches)
