What is written there is:

	Once your patches have been reviewed/acked you can post either a pull request
	("[GIT PULL]") or use the "[FINAL PATCH x/y]" tag if you don't have a public
	git tree.

E. g. either send git pull or tag the patches as final, *if* the person 
sending the patches doesn't have a public git tree (although, in practice,
I think that nobody is using FINAL on patches nowadays).

I don't have any issue if someone uses "FINAL" on patches, but what
turns on a red flag is when someone uses "FINAL" on a git pull request,
because a pull request should be sent only when the patches are already ok.

In other words, a FINAL word on a GIT PULL makes me wander that there
is a previous pull request that is bad, but it doesn't give any glue 
about what pull request is broken.

Is it the case of this pull request? If so, what previous pull
request is broken?

I would rather strongly prefer that, in the case that you sent a previous
pull request that should be discarded, that you would reply to the
original GIT PULL request thread with a NACK for me to be aware that
I should discard it at patchwork.

Regards,
Mauro
