Oh s***. Sorry for that. I was not at home for the whole week and
completely missed that the branch was the developement one (I usually
use a different machine for applying branches and sending PR).

That's when I prepared my PR to Linus, but as I mentioned above I forgot
to reset that local branch.

Yes, completely agree and that's a big mistake for me. I made a diff
with our for-next branch and didn't see anything. The only commit on top
of that messed up b4 cover letter is a67a1deb11d9 ("HID: samples: fix the
2 struct_ops definitions"), which was already in linux-next on July 8
as b35e0dc548aa ("HID: samples: fix the 2 struct_ops definitions"), so
almost a week before the opening of the MR.

I'm still trying to understand if I forgot to merge that for-6.11/bpf
branch into for-next at that time.

Is there anything we can do to rip off that commit from the tree and fix
b4?


Cheers,
Benjamin
