   Hi,

 From the "devel -> merge with upstream -> fixup breakage + commit -> 
devel" cycle.  When rebasing *that* you simply don't get a nice + 
bisectable patch series.  Early patches didn't apply cleanly due to 
buildsystem changes.  After fixing up that ehci didn't build.  Of course 
there are likely fixup patches coming later which solve that which I 
could try to find + cherry-pick + squash-in.  But at that point I felt 
it simply isn't worth the trouble given that we would squash it all 
together anyway for patch review + upstream merge.

cheers,
   Gerd
