I'm quite confused by this complaint of yours. I do not have the
feeling that I rebased anything or invalidated any testing. And I don't
think I did anything different this time from the way I have been
proceeding for years.

I had only 2 hwmon patches for Linus for this merge window:
  hwmon-lm63-drop-redundant-safety.patch
  hwmon-lm90-drop-redundant-safety.patch

They have been in
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-3/jdelvare-hwmon/ (and thus in
linux-next) continuously since May 19th so I'd say they received pretty
good testing. I did not touch them, I did not even have to refresh them.

3 days ago I added these 2 patches to the hwmon-for-linus branch of my
staging tree:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging.git/log/?h=hwmon-for-linus
and asked Linux to pull from it.

Yesterday I reviewed a new (trivial) hwmon patch, and I accepted it, so
it was added to http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-3/jdelvare-hwmon/ as 
hwmon-w83792d-update-module-author.patch (and thus went to linux-next.)

Last night Linus pulled from
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging.git/log/?h=hwmon-for-linus
so the 2 "old" patches are now merged upstream. The one "new" patch
is not, it will get upstream next time I ask Linus to pull from my
staging tree.

This is how things have happened, and I just can't see anything wrong.
If you do, please explain what you thing shouldn't have happened, and
let me know what I should have done instead.

Thanks,
