This sha doesn't exist in mainline, I believe you are referring to:

$ git l | grep "Introduce support for Mellanox hotplug"
304887041d95 platform/x86: Introduce support for Mellanox hotplug driver

While this was introduced in 4.10. There have been many changes since then, with
significant changes in the 4.17 cycle. I have not added the stable tag, please
let me know if you think this should be pushed to stable, and which of the
intervening patches you'd consider dependencies.

I've fixed the sha in the commit message, and queued for testing.

Thanks,
