Have you read the email I have linked?

There is also the cover-letter (does anyone in the community ever read
those?) which explicitly states:

"Patch "Remove devres from pci_intx()" obviously reverts the previous

easier to review and approve. It also makes sure that each checked out
commit should provide correct behavior, not just the entire series as a
whole."
