Ok, great!

Although, perhaps you would want to defer merging pci/endpoint to pci/next
until the linker error has been fixed.

We have already gotten a bunch of reports of this on the linux-pci list:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/202405270544.yKgcokbA-lkp@intel.com/T/#u
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/202405130815.BwBrIepL-lkp@intel.com/T/#u
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/202405140344.glj9WfzM-lkp@intel.com/T/#u

Merging the branch to pci/next is guaranteed to have even move people hit
and complain about this error.

Kind regards,
