Hi Andy,

The current series has a dependency on Tiger Lake and Elkhart Lake patche which is merged in to mainline. 

(554f269f0f38 platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Add Intel Elkhart Lake support
49a437941c3f platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Add Intel Tiger Lake support
6268c0b278b5 platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Make debugfs entry for pch_ip_power_gating_status conditional
e39854781830 platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Create platform dependent bitmap structs
b1cb33dae414 platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Clean up: Remove comma after the termination line)

But they are not available in for-next branch. I am confused, how that could be the case. For me to base the current series on for-next branch, the dependency patch series should be available in for-next branch.
