Yes, sorry the merge is only partial.
I was assuming each commit could compile.
It is totally wrong.
Even after the first patch, compilation is broken.
I'm hesitating to reject all.

I propose to make sure the build is fixed after the series,
and keep compilation breakages in the middle of the series,
making git bisect impossible at this point of the tree.
If I do that, I probably won't merge any other bnxt patch for a long time,
waiting for a better process in bnxt management in general.
