Well, not exactly. We don't want to merge changes that might be used
by unspecified drivers later. We only want to merge things that are
needed *now*, i.e., when this complete series is merged.

In this case, I think it will be used by another driver that is part
of this series ("dwc_pcie_pmu"), so the commit log should mention both
Alibaba elasticRDMA ("erdma"?) and "dwc_pcie_pmu".
