OK, thanks.  FWIW, it's currently marked "Changes Requested" in
patchwork, so it isn't really going anywhere right now:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-pci/patch/cbba08a5e9ca62778c8937f44eda2192a2045da7.1595617529.git.sathyanarayanan.kuppuswamy@linux.intel.com/

I have merged Sean's series, so this would be a good time to try to
move this one forward.
