No need to rebase them.  The ideal is to base them on the "main" branch
from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/
(currently v5.13-rc) because that's what I base topic branches on.
But I can deal with whatever your current base is.

Thanks for the reminder; I'll take a look at your v7 posting.
