Did you have a look at the Sashiko report from v15 [1]? Some of the concerns
raised seem valid at a quick glance.

(It seems that this version has not been picked up by Sashiko (despite you
mentioning they are based on driver-core-next). I'd assume it doesn't like that
the series was not sent with '--base'.)

Can you have a look at [1] please?

Thanks,
Danilo

Not sure it will make it for 7.2, but I think it would be good to give this some
more time in linux-next anyways.

Bjorn, James, Martin:

Should the PCI and scsi patch go through the driver-core tree too?

Do you prefer a signed tag with the driver-core changes to merge into the PCI
and scsi trees?
