The series has errors as it is applied:

https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-riscv/-/commits/master?ref_type=HEADS

For example:

https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-riscv/-/commit/4ea3acc000a793d04bae90eabfdc47be31580b87

configs/starfive_visionfive2_defconfig"

The above does not agree with what I reviewed on the mailing list. I am
listed as having reviewed the content being applied. What was applied is
something completely different than what I reviewed!

My question:

Why are changes to the series being made when applying to the tree, who
is making those changes, and how can we get visibility into these
mistakes? My question is valid even if the errors are not intentional or
through action of some automated merge algorithm.

This is a serious problem to associate contributors with code they did
not write or review.
